NATIONAL NIGHT OUT: TUESDAY, AUGUST 5, 2003

National Night Out (NNO) is an annual event sponsored by the National

Association of Town Watch. NNO is designed to (1) heighten crime and

drug

prevention awareness; (2) generate support for, and participation in,

local

anti-crime programs; (3) strengthen neighborhood spirit and

police-community

partnerships; and (4) send a message to criminals, letting them know

that

our neighborhoods are becoming organized and are taking steps to fight

back.

In Police Service Area 312, the following activities are taking place

on

NNO:

3D Mini -Station:

PSA 312 Lt. Alveta Dennis is locating an “open-air mini station” in the

1700

block of First Street, N.W. at which residents may come to meet and

greet

one another as well as MPD officials; public safety information will

also be

distributed and community concerns can be registered with Lt. Dennis.

(From

6:00 p.m. until ?)

Cook Out:

Bishop Imagene Stewart is sponsoring a “community cook out” in the 200

block of P Street, N.W. and she has asked that I let residents know

that

everyone is invited and encouraged to attend. (Event begins at 6:00

p.m.)

Candle Light Vigil:

For the second consecutive year, the Bates Area Civic Association, Inc.

is

sponsoring a “candle light vigil” at First and Florida Avenue, N.W. –

in

Florida Avenue Park. The purpose of this vigil is to emphasize the

need for

residents to reclaim and protect safe places for our children to play

and

spend their leisure time. As many of you did last year, please come

out and

show our children how much we care about them. The vigil will take

place

from 7:00 p.m. until 8:00 p.m.
