National Night Out on 1st Tues in August
07/21/2008 4:15 AM by John M
National Night Out is Tuesday, August 5. Every year neighborhoods around the city and country host events on this night. Anybody got the scoop about anything planned for around here?
New Visions Civic League will be hosting a friendly get together in the 1200 block of 23rd Street starting around 6PM.
Union Hill people have gathered on the 500 block of 22nd for the past several years to grill and spend time w/ neighbors. This year, I think the festivities are going to be held in Jefferson Park. Right now I can’t find the email w/ the time and other details. Anyone that knows the details: please post more info (or I will look for it and post again).
Per a recently recieved e-mail:
“The combined Union Hill and and Church Hill (UHA/CHA) Associations will hold a combined pot-luck event for the National Night Out on August 5, 2008 at Jefferson Park starting at 6:30. The UH/CH event is part of a National Night Out program throughout the City, Commonwealth and Country intent of the event is to support safer/cleaner neighborhoods, drug-free community and let the local law enforcement folks know we appreciate all they are doing and we are behind them in fighting crime.
The UHA will sponsor and host the pot-luck picnic in Jefferson Park while the CHA will feature a community walk starting at the National Park House in Chimborazo Park at 5:45. Citizens will then walk, bike, hike to Chimborazo Playground Park (29th and Grace St.) at 5:55 to meet other folks joining in the walk. From there the walk will go to Libby Hill Park (29th and Franklin St.) at 6:05 and then to Patrick Henry Park (Broad and 24th) at 6:10. Then the walk will go over to pick up more folks at the City Overlook 6:20 (Grace and 22nd St.), and finally go up 22nd St. to E. Clay and then into Jefferson Park to join the Union Hill Association for the combined community festivities. For those on the walk to Jefferson Park there will be a van that will accompnay the walkers between all the parks and to help convey the foods/beverages to Jefferson Park.
Hope to see everyone there in Jefferson Park and along the way as we attempt to link our community parks, spirit, and support for safer/cleaner and more crime free neighborhoods.
