Calling all South Enders!
South End community members needed for participation in South End Strategic Neighborhood Action Plans (SNAPs) focus group!
Your South End Neighborhood Council has been working with your Council Members, Safe Streets, and UWT on a process to update the South End Neighborhood Action Plans (SNAPs). If you did not know we had one either, this could be because the previous version is more than 20 years old!
We are now inviting community members from across the South End to participate in a focus group that will help inform the goals of the new and improved SNAPs. All are welcome, and in keeping with the South End Neighborhood Council’s commitment to promote an equitable and anti-racist community, Black and Indigenous community members, people of color, LGBTQ individuals, individuals with disabilities, youth, seniors, immigrants, and refugees are especially encouraged to apply.
Meeting Date & Time: June 12, 2021 from 10am-11:30am
A zoom link will be sent out to all registered participants.
SNAPs focus group participants will be asked to commit to meeting once a month from June to September. Community members who participate in these focus groups will be compensated with a small stipend in appreciation for your time.
If you are interested in participating, or have further questions, please contact Darren Pen: dpen@safest.org

Public Service Announcement – Catalytic Converter Thefts on the Rise
Police departments all across our nation have seen a rise in the thefts of catalytic converters. Catalytic converters are an important part of a vehicle’s exhaust system and contain precious metals such as platinum and palladium. Thieves can remove a catalytic converter in minutes by cutting them off with a
battery operated saw. In Tacoma the most often targeted vehicles are the Toyota Prius and larger trucks, SUV’s and vans. You will know your catalytic converter has been stolen by the loud noise your vehicle makes when you start it up. Those who have been affected by such thefts know that catalytic
converter replacement can range between $1000 and $3000 including parts and labor.
