A group of Hawthorne residents who want to make the city a little better are meeting Saturday morning to figure out how to do a lot of heavy lifting: reduce gang activity and clean up the streets.
Hawthorne police Sgt. Steve Romero started the group, Citizens of Hawthorne Action Team or CHAT, earlier this year. His goal was to get more people involved in the community. So far, several of the city's homeowner's groups have joined with Romero.
CHAT will meet Saturday morning at 9:30 a.m. at the Hawthorne Memorial Center, 3901 W. El Segundo Blvd. Every Hawthorne resident is welcome.
Romero said that they will divide into action committees on Saturday, with groups focusing on disaster preparedness, philanthropy, crime eradication, networking and structure.
