The San Pedro Business Association would like to update you on what has been happening, please take the time to read through the following newsletter....

"Amazing, great, wonderful, must happen again – these were some of the many comments on the first ever Savor San Pedro Food Festival Block Party. Held last Saturday January 26th, 2008 at Central Park, many were absolutely delighted to enjoy the variety of great dishes offered by restaurants around town. Hosted by the San Pedro Business Association, this one-of-a-kind festival had the night filled with music and mouths watering from blocks away. It was definitely an evening of great fun, tasty eats and thirst-quenching drinks that pleased the enthusiastic crowd." The first ever Savor San Pedro Food Festival did just what it was intended to do as the good food and festive atmosphere enticed visitors as well as the community to come out and enjoy a fun evening at the park. With round happy bellies and our fill of music, art, and entertainment, everyone is eagerly awaiting next year's festival."

Other News:
Policing: Superintendent Arnold has provided the SPBA with a list of the officers assigned to the various neighbourhood watch associations. There are four officers assigned to each association and the leader of each association has a list of the officers and contact numbers. Superintendent Arnold has done a foot patrol of the Tres Cocos area with their area members. He would like to do a foot patrol in each neighbourhood watch area to get familiarized with area, its residents and their concerns. It has also been suggested that each area form a phone tree. If anyone has questions about the neighbourhood watch group in their area SPBA secretary Rebecca Arceo can be contacted at 226-4474.
The SPBA has requested a meeting with Minister Heredia on the immediate question of "Can we get BDF back on the island?" If so the SPBA needs to know what is needed from the association to make this happen. Central Government did provide 4 officers from the elite Dragon Police Unit over Easter weekend. The SPBA arranged for lodging and food for these four officers during their stay.
Garbage: The SPBA Secretary had the opportunity to discuss the Trash Bin project with Dr. Will Lala. Dr. Lala explained that the bins will hold about 27 gallons and they have been designed in way that will be easy for the garbage collectors to utilize.
