National Night Out is TONIGHT!!

(http://www NULL.sequoyahhome NULL.org/wp/wp-content/uploads/2014/08/iStock_000041063532_Medium NULL.jpg)It time again for National Night Out.  This year marks the 31st Anniversary of the National Night Out Organization and very first NNO in the US.   As you may have seen from our Yahoo! news group, there are a variety of block hosts throughout the neighborhood getting ready to host neighbors and be visible tonight.

National Night Out is a phenomenal opportunity to show our neighborhood strength and spirit, be visible to each other, and get to know our neighbors.   Neighbor relationships are one of the best ways to fight crime and know the regular comings and going on your block.  Usually with NNO, you will see representatives from the Oakland Police Department and other City entities visiting the neighborhood and getting to know us.

What can you do tonight?

• Leave your porch lights on
• Walk your block
• Join one of the block parties
• Introduce yourself to a neighbor

Hosted Block Parties from 7:00 – 9:00 PM:

• Pinecrest:  5105 Pinecrest Dr., bring a seat & a treat to share
• Surrey Lane: 8130 Surrey Lane.  Everyone from Keller up is welcome.  Bring a chair & cookies.
• Coach Drive

If you do not see a party for your street, you are welcome at any of the ones listed.   There very well may be other gatherings that have not been publicized on the Yahoo! Group.

If you are hosting and take pictures, please forward them to kris@kdbaitooconsulting.com so they can be included in a follow up blog.  Have a great evening everyone!!
