What is National Night Out? It's America's Night Out Against Crime! The "26th Annual National Night Out" (NNO), is a unique crime/drug prevention event sponsored by the National Association of Town Watch (NATW).
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; and Send a message to criminals letting them know that neighborhoods are organized and fighting back. The History of NATW and National Night Out The National Association of Town Watch (NATW) is a nonprofit, crime prevention organization which works in cooperation with thousands of crime watch groups and law enforcement agencies throughout the country. Since 1981, NATW has been dedicated to the development, growth and maintenance of organized crime and drug prevention programs nationwide. NATW's network has grown to include over 6,500 crime, drug and violence prevention organizations. National Night Out, 'America's Night Out Against Crime,' was introduced by the Association in 1984. The program was the brainchild of NATW Executive Director Matt A. Peskin. In an effort to heighten awareness and strengthen participation in local anticrime efforts, Peskin felt that a high-profile, high-impact type of crime prevention event was needed nationally. At that time, he noted that in a typical ‘crime watch community’, only 5 to 7% of the residents were participating actively. Due to the growth and success of these programs, he felt this percentage was too low. Subsequently, he proposed a national program which would be coordinated by local crime prevention agencies and organizations - but that would involve entire communities at one time. The first National Night Out was introduced early in 1984 - with the event culminating on the first Tuesday in August. That first year, 400 communities in 23 states participated in National Night Out. Nationwide, 2.5 million Americans took part in 1984. The seed had been planted. In subsequent years, participation has grown steadily. The 25th Annual National Night Out last August involved 37 million people in 15,449 communities from all 50 states, U.S. territories, Canadian cities, and military bases worldwide. National Night Out 2009 will culminate on August 4th. Over 16,000 communities are expected to take part. While the traditional 'lights on' and front porch vigils remain a part of NNO, activities have expanded considerably over the years to include block parties, cookouts, parades, visits from police, festivals, neighborhood walks, safety fairs, contests, rallies and meetings. Peskin said, "It's a wonderful opportunity for communities nationwide to promote police-community partnerships, crime prevention, and neighborhood camaraderie. While the one night is certainly not an answer to crime, drugs and violence, National Night Out does represent the kind of spirit, energy and determination that is helping to make many neighborhoods safer places throughout the year. It [NNO] is a night to celebrate safety and crime prevention successes - and to expand and strengthen programs for the next 364 days." |

Members of Spring Creek Girl Scout Troop No. 395 spent countless hours over the past 3 months putting together a wide assortment of items to ensure that any children who may find themselves at CADV/Harbor House over Easter weekend would be able to enjoy the holiday. The scouts created 2, one-of-a-kind handmade piñatas and filled them with candy and prizes they purchased with money they earned during their recent Girl Scout Cookie sale. To round out their donation, they also went on scavenger hunts throughout their homes, rounding up extra Easter baskets, plastic eggs, egg coloring kits, and spent one of their meetings making a variety of Easter themed homemade chocolate candies and suckers. “We all had a lot of fun working on this project. I really liked making the piñatas and candy,” said troop member Emily Fonder. “We like being able to help out other kids. It just makes you feel good.” According to CADV/Harbor House Executive Director Yvette Waters due to budget cuts, the staff wasn’t expecting to be able to do anything to help residents celebrate this upcoming holiday. “We can’t thank these young ladies enough for all of their hard work and generosity,” said Waters. “Because of them, the children at CADV/Harbor House will be able to celebrate Easter.” |
