2. HWPOA CHANGE OF ADDRESS

All other contact information (phone, email, etc.) remains the same. Any mail sent to our former address on Westwood Blvd. will be forwarded for one year.
3. COYOTE ALERT
A coyote was seen earlier this week on Thayer between Lindbrook and Le Conte. Please use precautions to keep our neighborhood safe. Be sure to keep your small pets indoors, particularly at night. Do not leave dog or cat food out or any other food that might attract these animals.
What should I do if a coyote approaches me?
Wave your arms. Shout in a low, loud tone. Throw objects at the coyote while maintaining eye contact. Make yourself look as big as possible. If you are wearing a jacket, take it off & swing around over your head. If possible go towards active or populated areas but do not turn your back & run from the coyote as that could trigger a chase.
