It is an honor and a privilege to work for a Council that truly bases all decisions on “what is in the best interest of the Village.” Please mark your calendars for an all day Charrette on Saturday, January 30, 2016 starting at 9 am in the cafeteria of the Conservatory School at North Palm Beach. There will be experts and researchers from all over the country attending the Charrette—economists, urban planners, and real estate experts along with staff from the Treasure Coast Regional Planning Council. This time will be used to create a new Master Plan for future de- velopment and re-development in North Palm Beach, and to determine the amenities for the new Country Club Clubhouse. All residents and busi- ness owners are welcome to attend! Those who attend will have an opportunity to shape the future of the Village of North Palm Beach! If you cannot make it on Saturday, the Charrette process will continue in the Council Chambers from 9am—9pm Sunday through Thursday, January 31—February 4, 2016, and Friday, February 5, 2016 from 9am –noon. A summary of the Charrette process will be presented on Friday, February 5, 2016 at 6 pm in the Cafeteria of the Conservatory School at North Palm Beach. I look forward to seeing you at the Charrette! Sincerely, Jim Kelly What Exactly Is A Charrette? Charrette means "cart" in French; various architectural school legends hold that at the Ecole des Beaux Arts in 19th Century Paris, students were still sketching as carts carried their boards away to be juried. Today, the term is used to describe a high speed, intensive creative session in which a team concentrates on specific design problems with citizens and presents solutions..

Heritage Day—Pg. 5www.village-npb.org Heritage Day Heritage Parade Pg. 6—Heritage Parade 561-841-3380 Country Club Country Club—Pg. 7www.village-npb.org Distraction Thefts The North Palm Beach Police Department would like to inform all residents on how to protect themselves from becoming a victim of a distraction theft. The key to prevention is to understand the method of operation and how these criminals are able to commit this type of crime. Suspects can be either male or female and will often pose as land- scapers, pest control specialists, plumbers, electricians, and/or utility workers. These subjects will attempt to gain the trust of the victim and create a sense of urgency to dis- tract you from your home and into your backyard if possible. While being distracted in your backyard, others may enter your home without your knowledge and steal any be- longings that they feel may be of value. Do not feel obligated to open the door. Confirm the identity of all workers prior to allowing them into your house or onto your property. If you are not expecting a service and feel that this is suspicious, call 911 immediately. Distraction Theft Criminals, otherwise known as traveling criminals target elderly resi- dents when they are the most vulnerable. Do not allow yourself to become distracted. If you know of a neighbor who may be considered a vulnerable target please share this important information with them so that they will be prepared in how to handle this type of situation. Be mindful of suspicious activity in your neighborhood and re- member to immediately call 911 to report the information to the North Palm Beach Police Department. TRASH TALK If you are still using the magnet from 2013—please throw it out! It is no longer valid. Please reference the back cover of the newsletter, Facebook page or the Village Website for the correct garbage schedule.
