National Crime Night Out

At our meeting today, Janice Atkinson of the County Sheriff's Office mentioned a national community program that, according to their website, "promotes neighborhood spirit, police-community partnerships in our fight for a safer nation."

It is held annually on the first Tuesday in August, and enjoys a major sponsor: Target.

Several folks at our meeting mentioned that they would like to see us re-establish some community get-togethers, such as barbecues, ice-cream socials, or block parties. This would be an option that could be combined with the others mentioned as well.

If this is something that interests you, please let one of your board members know. We will keep a tally on neighborhood interest in this, and perhaps it is something we can do for next year.
