The National Night Out campaign, sponsored by the National Association of Town Watch, encourages
citizens and homeowners associations to schedule block parties or other family
activities with a crime-prevention theme. The idea is to bring neighbors
together to support anti-crime efforts, strengthen community-police
partnerships, and get neighbors to look out for one another and become more
aware of suspicious activities.

The free movie outdoors sounds like a cool community event – wish more was being done to promote this…this is the first I have heard of it so thanks for putting useful stuff like this here.
Yes, if our Supervisor didn't SUCK – this should be something she sends out. The Braddock Supervisor did.
Yeah, I suppose. It only took them half a year to remove the Annandale Parade flyer from that awesome display case located at the corner of Columbia Pike and Little River…would some neon construction paper and a sharpie cost that much? How about a banner slung over Columbia Pike that coulg be reused and "courtesy of xyz" to give the sponsor some free advertizing. Pu those $500000 fire trucks to good use.
