Youth to present results of safety perception surveys at WOW

FALLBROOK – Fallbrook Regional Health District's Woman of Wellness event Thursday, March 1 will feature the Fallbrook Youth Advocacy Coalition presenting the results of the safety perception surveys they completed last summer.

The youth, ages 12 to 16, knocked on doors in Fallbrook and De Luz apartment communities to find out what residents think about safety, crime and related issues in their neighborhoods.

Developed by The Center for Community Research organization, the survey is used in "crime-free, multi-housing" programs that help make various apartment communities around the county safer by reducing drug use, drug dealing and related crime.

Those women and men who attend the WOW event will not only learn the results but will also meet this remarkable youth group and learn about all they do.

Attendees are asked to bring non-perishable food items for the Fallbrook Food Pantry and receive an extra ticket for a door prize. WOW starts at 6 p.m. with time for socializing and refreshments. The program starts at 6:30 in the community room of Fallbrook Library, 124 S. Mission Ave.
