 In partnership with   The HVCID would like to pay Tribute To Penny Owens. If you can live a life making an impact on others lives, you live on forever. I’ll miss you Penny … we will carry your legacy forward! 💔 From Har-Lyn Neighbourhood Watch… A message from our ex Chairman Derek Bluck:Penny Owens, your passing leaves an undeniable void. You have been a cherished friend, a colleague and true stalwart of our community. You will be remembered for many things but above all, for your remarkable tenacity, possessing an unwavering belief in HarLyn and pursuing our dreams with relentless enthusiasm, teaching us never to give up. You became a beacon in our neighbourhood, a valiant defender of the feminine cause and a formidable force in the fight against crime. The many improvements you spearheaded have made our community safer and these efforts will serve as your enduring legacy. We will miss you but the light you shared will be remembered forever! Here is the latest update of our Camera Fundraiser. Thank you to those that have already contributed! 💚🙏  When we have accumulated enough funds for 1 site, we begin.
