Hi Everyone Happy New Year!
As we begin the meeting communications for the 2023 year, I wanted to use this opportunity to introduce myself rather than take up time during physical meeting.
My name is Melody Sarkies I've been a West Seattle resident for 32 years. During this time I've attended 7 years of West Seattle Crime Council Meetings, Block Watch Captain for 15 years, one of the original founders of Mocha and a board member of Monorail Recall.
I volunteered to chair these meetings as I believe the knowledge gained from guest speakers along with preceinct personnel is extremely important. The second reason is communication between community members and various entities. Please feel free to contact me with any questions, concerns, suggestions.
As we know mental illness is an undeniable factor within the homeless population. In an effort to guide our knowledge of the resources available to hopefully start addressing this issue permanently. I've invited Frank Couch from King County Crisis and Commitment Services as our guest speaker. I hope you can join me in welcoming Frank Couch January 12th @ 7:00 PM.
Please remember to sign in and if you would like to ask the guest speaker a question sign up for that as well.
Regards,
Melody Sarkies
SW Precinct Community Crime Chair
