Our neighborhood was introduced to the program by a couple in the neighborhood, a former nurse and a former cop. They contacted Gail Lazenby and he set up how many our neighborhood would need and the locations. A voluntary contribution was set up in our neighborhood with people contributing what they thought the program was worth and kept collecting until they could afford to put the program in effect. Most people contributed $50-100. Of course this depends on how many units are in your neighborhood and how your village decides to have their socials, website or whatever means you have of keeping in contact with your whole village, part of village, certain streets etc. We are in Pennecamp but Pennecamp is broken up into at least 4 separate sections. Our section includes villas and homes and we have a social and website by which we keep in touch with what is going on in our neighborhood. It consists of 6 streets and we have 3 AED's and over 30 responders. We have had test runs and beat the fire dept each time.
