Captain's Report:  No stats this month; the Captain was not present.

Toy Drive:  Officer Ace Delgado is once again conducting a toy drive outside of
Wal-Mart on two consecutive Saturdays, November 15 and 22, from 10:00 a.m. to 5:00
p.m.  New and unwrapped toys will be much appreciated and will help make a very
merry Christmas for some of our primary-grade students in the area.  The toys will
be wrapped by the the PDAC members during the December meeting; the next day, a
grand Christmas Party will be held where Santa will give them to excited school
children!

Cell Phone Numbers Go Public:  Your cell phone number could now be released to
marketing companies, and you'll pay for those incoming calls and text messages.  To
avoid this hassle, call 888-382-1222 from your cell phone to register the number
with the national do-not-call log.  The block is good for five years!  Online users
can go to www.donotcall.gov to effect that block.

Yes, There is a Leash Law!  Dogs not on their owners' private property must be on a
leash not more than six feet long, including the handle. 

Philadelphia's law also states that dogs may not nuisance ("urinate or defecate") on
any property other than the dog owner's private property.  This law is relaxed for
those who immediately remove pet droppings and dispose of them on their own property
in a leak-proof container.  Likewise, dogs who urinate on hard surfaces instead of
lawns and around trees can spare their owners possible fines up to $300!

Captain's Town Hall Meeting:  Thursday, December 4, 2008 at 7:00 p.m., Columbus Rec
Center at 12th & Wharton Streets.
