Marysville residents and families:
You’re invited to join local police, firefighters and community partners to
celebrate National Night Out on Tuesday, Aug. 6. The City of Marysville is
hosting an event at Jennings Park from 5:30 to 7:30 p.m. that evening. Stop by
to enjoy:
- Hot dogs
- Popsicles
- Police and Fire personnel
- Police K-9 demonstration
- Neighborhood Watch program and safety information
As an alternative, the city also encourages
residents to come together for neighborhood events to get to know each other
better and promote community building. Neighbors looking out for each other can
be a powerful deterrent against crime.
To help you get started, the city
is offering a barbecue starter kit to neighborhood events that expect at least
15 attendees and register with the city by July 19. The optional starter
kit includes hot dogs (require refrigeration and your ability to prepare on
site), buns and Neighborhood Watch information, and it must be picked up on
Aug. 6.
Register online at http://www.marysvillewa.gov/NNO. You
will be asked to provide your event’s time and address, a neighborhood
co-sponsor, and estimated number of attendees. Once registered, you’ll
receive a customizable flier to share with your neighbors and a time to pick up
your barbecue starter kit. City staff will stop by registered neighborhood
events that evening as available.
If you have questions, please
contact Leah Tocco at ltocco@marysvillewa.gov or
360-363-8091.
National
Night Out celebrates its 36th anniversary this year with celebrations in 16,000
communities in all 50 United States, U.S. territories and military bases
worldwide.
