Bay Watch

Bay Watch approach is simple. “If you are having a problem we’ll see if we can help. If you are being a problem, we’ll see if we can take care of that too.” This is not a slogan you mutter to people it is something you do. Let’s say you are working in your yard and you see a car driving slowly by. The the driver is looking around the neighborhood. You ask “Can I help you?” The driver may actually be lost and appreciate the help, or he may actually be casing the neighborhood and is smart enough to act like he appreciates the help and goes off to case some other neighborhood.
    Until formal Block Watch programs are set up in all areas of Birch Bay, you and your neighbors may join Bay Watch. Just click on your choice from below and print the page that comes up. Fold the page and and tape it on one of the front windows of your home. Place it so the directions on the back side are easy for you to see and follow them. You may want to print extra ones for your neighbors.
     It is OK to use the Bay Watch symbol in neighborhoods that have Block Watch programs.
    You may down load either version of the Bay Watch Logo. The color version look great but will fade in a few months. The gray scale version looks fine and will not fade. Click on the one you wish to try.
