***We Were Lucky – This Time*** 

Although our neighborhood was spared from the recent Los Angeles fires, we know that many have friends and family who have lost their homes or businesses or have otherwise been greatly affected. The Board of Directors of Bel Air Hills Association would like to extend our deepest sympathies to all those affected by these tragic events.  We hope that our neighborhood can pull together to help those in need, and to work together to protect our neighborhood in the future - because the next time it could be us.

***Virtual Neighborhood Watch***  Last month, BAHA sent out a News Alert regarding an attempted burglary on Roscomare Road. This incident was an example of the crime fighting power of the combination of residents’ street-facing security cameras and BAHA’s Virtual Neighborhood Watch (VNW).  BAHA’s VNW is open to all residents with street-facing security cameras, regardless of BAHA membership status.
