The Pimmit Hills Citizens Association will participate again this year in the nation-wide 29th Annual National Night Out event, held on Tuesday, August 7, 2012 by hosting a big neighborhood block party to be held on Hileman Road in Pimmit Hills, which will be blocked off for the event.
The fun starts at 7 pm and goes until 9 pm. There will be cool popsicle treats, kids games, chalk art, a hula-hoop contest and the always popular ‘cake walk’ game. Local businesses and organizations have been invited to set up booths.
Everyone in Pimmit Hills is invited -- homeowners and renters, families and singles, adults and kids, dogs and cats. It’s a great time to meet your neighbors! Our local police will also stop by.
LOCAL BUSINESSES & ORGANIZATIONS: Bring a table to the event and publicize your services and products. There is no cost to attend; just bring your own table. Contact PHCA Vice President, Carol Martz for more information at vp @ pimmithills . org.
What is National Night Out (NNO)? It’s a unique crime/drug prevention event sponsored by the National Association of Town Watch.
Held on the first Tuesday of August every year, neighbors lock their doors, turn on outside lights and spend the evening outside together. NNO 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; and
- Send a message to criminals letting them know that neighborhoods are organized and fighting back.
NNO is an effective, inexpensive and enjoyable program to promote neighborhood spirit and police-community partnerships in our fight for a safer nation.
National Project Coordinator Matt Peskin said, “This is a night for America to stand together to promote awareness, safety and neighborhood unity. NNO showcases the vital importance of police-community partnerships and citizen involvement in our fight to build a safer nation. On NNO, we invite neighborhoods nationwide to join us in Giving Crime & Drugs A Going Away Party.”
