This change will allow the patrol to seek grants and donations to increase the services offered to the community. Those who pay for their membership via paper check should make that out to the Virginia-Highland Security Patrol in the future.

Be aware, that membership payments are not tax deductible as it is payment for a service. However, any charitable donations or sponsorships can be deducted. The new non-profit corporation continues to be managed by volunteers including Beth Marks (welcome back after a several year hiatus), Steve Rosenberg, Nan Safay (retiring this year), Kay Stephenson, Charles Zimmer, and John Wolfinger. Chris Clark, who formed the patrol along with Beth Marks over 25 years ago continues to serve on the board and recruit and manage the officers on patrol.
