Tomorrow evening (Tuesday the 4th) is National Night Out, a program designed to strengthen community - police relations, encourage neighborhood spirit and send the message that fear, crime and violence have no place in our neighborhood.
All excellent reasons to participate in National Night Out, but for me, a cheapskate at heart, the best reason is FREE LIGHT BULBS! The Enderis Park Neighborhood Association promotes National Night Out by giving away free fluorescent light bulbs to use for your porch. Studies have shown well-lit neighborhoods have less crime - so the idea is to get your free bulbs and turn on your porch light every night. Who knows, maybe you'll see your neighbor while your putting up your bulb. It's not too late to get your light bulb. Call Kathy Grothe at 774-1898.
How can we make our neighborhood more safe?
Light bulbs are a great place to start, but how can we make our neighborhood more safe? I'm sure you must have some ideas and I'd like to hear them. We've come a long way already by taking down the basketball hoops at night and placing the radar speed display on 68th street. What else can/should we do? Speak up Enderis.
