Event Summary
This year's National Night Out™ was a huge success. Thanks to everyone who participated. Even though it was steamy and hot, and maybe a tad buggy, our neighbors came out, had some watermelon, met with Raleigh Police Officers, and had a great time! We had four different RPD officers join us including Captain Moorman, Community Specialist Officer Upchurch, one of our Beat Officers (French), and a K-9 unit.
We had over 30 members from the organization attend the event. Some came for a short while, others stayed the entire 2 hours. Kids played, we enjoyed watermelon, and we got to meet our neighbors. NBC 17 even stopped by and our group was in a short news clip about National Night Out.
