News You Can Use from the Beltsville Citizen’s Association:
Happy Thanksgiving! 2020 is almost over! If you can help those in our community who are less fortunate please reach out to one of our non-profit organizations and churches during the holiday season.
Holiday Safety Tips: Lock your doors to your home and car. Get an "RFID" wallet or envelope for your driver's license, passport, credit & debit cards. Thieves have found easier way to pick your pocket and your identity at the same time. Don’t leave gifts visible in your car. If you are going out of town have timers on your lights and stop your mail and newspaper. Thefts from cars is still a problem in our community. Don’t leave valuables in your car.
Solicitors and salespeople who are going door to door are required to have a license. PG County verifies they are legitimate and licensed. Ask to see their license from the county. Some door to door solicitors are legitimate, others are scouting out homes to break into.
Our next meeting will be a ZOOM meeting. Please let me know if you would like to attend. The meeting will be on Wednesday, November 18th at 7:00 p.m. If you have a community concern, I can be reached at 301.937.3490 or karenmcoakley@msn.com.
