2018 National Night Out is Tuesday, August 7. Communities throughout the Richmond area will hold neighborhood events. This year is the 35th Anniversary of National Night Out.

Can you help Randolph plan for National Night Out? We need volunteers and people with ideas and energy to contribute to this neighborhood effort.

There is a NNO Planning Committee Meeting on Monday, June 18th at 6 p.m.. at Randolph Community Center, 1415 Grayland Avenue. All are welcome to begin the planning for another great NNO.

WHAT IS NATIONAL NIGHT OUT? (courtesy of natw.org)

National Night Out is an annual community-building campaign that promotes police-community partnerships and neighborhood camaraderie to make our neighborhoods safer, more caring places to live. National Night Out enhances the relationship between neighbors and law enforcement while bringing back a true sense of community. Furthermore, it provides a great opportunity to bring police and neighbors together under positive circumstances. Millions of neighbors take part in National Night Out across thousands of communities from all fifty states, U.S. territories and military bases worldwide on the first Tuesday in August (Texas celebrates on the first Tuesday in October). Neighborhoods host block parties, festivals, parades, cookouts and various other community events with safety demonstrations, seminars, youth events, visits from emergency personnel, exhibits and much, much more.
