National Night Out is an annual community-building campaign that promotes police-community partnerships and neighborhood camaraderie to make our neighborhoods safer, more caring places to live. National Night Out enhances the relationship between neighbors and law enforcement while bringing back a true sense of community. Furthermore, it provides a great opportunity to bring police and neighbors together under positive circumstances.
Millions of neighbors take part in National Night Out across thousands of communities from all fifty states, U.S. territories and military bases worldwide on the first Tuesday in August (Texas and select areas celebrate on the first Tuesday in October). Neighborhoods host block parties, festivals, parades, cookouts and various other community events with safety demonstrations, seminars, youth events, visits from emergency personnel, exhibits and much, much more.
The problem is that it is also Lucille Ball’s birthday, and I am taking the family to the movie theatre to see her on the big screen (fathomevents.com)
Police, fire departments, VFW, other community organizations. My family went the last couple of years, but my sons and I have a summer camp staff dinner tonight.
One year, one of my kids helped out at our town’s NNO event. Now grown, they still stop there every summer.
However, one year, while everyone - including the police - was at the NNO event, back in the neighborhood some teens decided to vandalize our houses. So, yeah, that was ironic. Some of us discovered what was happening, and we tried chasing them down with our minivans. lol
What a pantload of excrement on ALL counts.
Our neighborhood had an ice cream social every NNO and I never once went.
It’s my birthday, and my son’s birthday as well today. We’ve always had a family Night Out of some sort on this date. I’m 70 today, and this is the first birthday where I didn’t see any remembrance of Hiroshima.
We are having a fine meal with a thick steak among other things at a hospital.
It’s a monthly healthy food and diet event.
I’m slightly younger than you, and my (unfortunate) memories of Hiroshima “remembrances” in this country usually involved candlelight vigils by many who seemed to have no recollection or difficulty with what happened on December 7th.
The event has been held annually since 1984 and involves 38
million residents in 16,000 communities across the United
States in 2016. They don’t show a more current number.
