Night Out on Crime

http://www.nationalnightout.org/nno/

The Van Buren Place Community Restoration Association is joining with the Adams Normandie Neighborhood Association (ANNA) for our annual National Night Out on Crime neighborhood march and potluck.

This year will be the 24th Annual National Night Out, a unique crime/drug prevention event sponsored by the National Association of Town Watch, on Tuesday, August 7, 2007.

Last year's National Night Out campaign involved citizens, law enforcement agencies, civic groups, businesses, neighborhood organizations and local officials from over 10,000 communities from all 50 states, U.S. territories, Canadian cities and military bases worldwide. In all, over 34 million people participated in NNO 2006.

NATIONAL NIGHT OUT is designed to:

* Heighten crime and drug prevention awareness
* Generate support for, and participation in, local anticrime programs
* Strengthen neighborhood spirit and police-community partnerships
* Send a message to criminals letting them know that neighborhoods are organized and fighting back

We will assemble at 6:30 pm at 1658 W 23rd Street, north of Adams Blvd. Bring your potluck dish. The march, with support from Southwest Division LAPD, will begin at 7:00 pm and cover both sides of Adams Blvd. this year, returning to 23rd Street for a community potluck with lots of good food.

Please join us!

Adams Normandie Neighborhood Association (ANNA)
