As in past years, we are inviting all neighborhoods to participate in this event. we generally have over 50 groups and this year anticipate close to 70. Each group is visited by department personnel. Last year we had teams of two and distributed police badges and candy to all the children. We would like to divide the groups this year so we can spend at least a few minutes at each one. We would also like to invite all City Council Members to take part in this event. As in past years, I will compile a list of neighborhoods, types of events, and coordinator for those wishing to drop in. The contest this year for prize money will be as follows: Each neighborhood is to identify three problems/issues of concern in their neighborhood and list how intend to resolve or improve them. We will also be judging groups on their creativity for the evenings events and neighborhood participation. Publicity will be PSA's done by KOVR channel 13, the local cable company calendar of events, and local newspapers. Since you get a greater response than I, would you request a lead-in story and a follow-up with a photo in the local newspaper. We expect channel 13 to be in our area on that evening also. Groups are planning a variety of events such as potlucks, ice cream socials, parades, contests, dancing lessons, etc. Many are planning their block parties to include street closures. Attached is a sample proclamation and a copy of the National Night Out newsletter mailed to all neighborhood watch participants explaining the event.
