National Night Out

Every year in August, the police association sponsors with local communities what is called National Night Out. It is an evening of food and coming together as a community to develop better ties between the police and the local community. We have done this the last 3 years but this year we really focused on having our neighbors bring the food. Below Erika from Iglesia Libre meets with some of our neighbors.

As usual we had some great food! And it kept coming all during the evening. We counted at one point over 125 people!

We are also partnering with Iglesis Libre (hispanic church that meets at Hillside) to offer a parenting class on Thursday nights this fall. A number of their members came this night to meet our neighbors and invite them to come to the class. We had 17 people express interest in the class! Below is our friend Jaime with Gary and myself.
