Neighborhood Watch
There will be no Neighborhood Watch meetings in November or December. We hope to see those of you interested in the Neighborhood Watch program on January 23 at 5:00 PM in the Police Department conference room inside the Truist bank building at 416 Colonial Avenue in Colonial Beach. Neighborhood Watch usually meets on the 4th Thursday of the month.

Orderly Election Day
As election day approaches, we're excited to see citizens take part by casting their votes with respect and care. Let’s honor the laws that guide the voting process and remember that, no matter our differences, we all belong to one community.

A Friendly Reminder from the Finance Department -
