“National Night Out” will be an annual event designed to strengthen our community by encouraging citizens to engage in stronger relationships with each other and with their local law enforcement partners. The goal is to heighten crime-prevention awareness, build support and participation in local anti-crime programs, and most importantly send a message that our neighborhood is organized and fighting back. It’s also the perfect opportunity to get to know your neighbors even better.
“National Night Out” is a time for the community to get together. Enjoy the evening and get outside. Turn your porch lights on and visit with your neighbors. Walk or ride to the Village Hall and enjoy a hot dog or ice cream cone.
