Letter to the Community Words from the Democratic Ward W e had a great meeting in January. Beachwood Police Chief Keith Winebrenner spoke with us about community policing and took our questions. We came away with a better understanding of the Beachwood Police Department and a greater awareness that we live in a safe community. We will celebrate our diversity at our February 10 meeting with Peggy Zone-Fisher, president of the Diversity Center of Northeast Ohio. Peggy will speak about the great work that the Diversity Center provides to the region and we will learn more about how we can celebrate our differences while maximizing our similarities.
