Neighbors Helping Neighbors
These are trying times, but they are also times that bring out the best in people. Our Neighborhood Emergency Awareness Team (NEAT) volunteers are stepping forward to do what they can to help us help one another as much as we can, given the "shelter at home" and other restrictions currently in place.
Block captains and assistants will be contacting residents by phone or email to say hello and to see if individuals need help or can offer help to their neighbors. As they gather information, they may be able to match people in need with people who can help. Erin Gifford, one of our NEAT volunteers, has offered to be the contact person for this effort. Block captains, assistants, and residents may contact her at cabrillolink@gmail.com.
Of course, there are limits on what can be done, and the first and most important thing is that we all follow all current orders as to shelter at home, 6-foot social distancing, and all CDC recommendations to keep ourselves and others safe!
A roster of the Block Captains is included below for your reference. Also, consult this map to find the block for your property:

Well, that fortune has certainly come true. If you are feeling stressed, anxious, helpless, you are in good company. NEAT co-chair Annie Rohrbach-Walker has some suggestions on how to keep yourself together and build up your natural immune system. Read them on the CEPOA website.
