Night Out In Ruston

The National Night Out Against Crime has become an annual tradition ~ a chance to potluck with neighbors and build those important community connections. As a side benefit, knowing our neighborhood helps reduce crime. From the organization's web page:

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.
There are two block parties planned for tonight in Ruston:
  • Winnifred from North 53rd to 54th
  • N. 49th from Baltimore to Bennett

These streets will be blocked off and neighbors mingling. Stop over and say hello. It's a great way to get to know your neighbors, have some good food and enjoy a summer evening! More details are available on the town web page here....
