The Board has adopted a new set of recognition awards in order to recognize the wide variety of ways our members provide service.  A document showing the new awards is here.

The Chili's flyer has been moved to the PCPAAA Documents / General Documents section of the website. The link on the calendar for each Chili's Night also links directly to the flyer.

Plano has an interesting series of safety videos online.  View here.
Plano now participates in a very nice program that displays local crime incidents on a map. Just go to Crimereports.com and enter your zip code. It has several different parameters that can be set for how long back to display incidents and the types of incidents to display. It will also show the location and pictures of registered sex offenders. The data is updated every night.
Check out the new PCPAAA maps on the main user menu.
Members are urged to upload their photos for the Member Directory

Did you know that you can report reckless driving or other traffic offenses by just calling 972-941-LITE (5483)?  The offender won't get a ticket but they will get a letter from the city telling him/her that he/she has been a bad boy/girl and to clean up his/her act.

How to report companies that need to paint and/or replace old handicap signs.  The entity is the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulations (512)-463-3211.  It is the Architectural Barriers Division.  You can report violations online at www.license.state.tx.us .  When you are on that website you click on report violations then click on architectural barriers and complete the form.  I checked it out and it is pretty easy.  You can also remain anonymous.
