Neighborhood-wide Picnic & Potluck Tomorrow, Aug 14

August 13, 2013 Emerson Garfield

The Emerson-Garfield Neighborhood Council is holding its annual Summer Picnic & Potluck in Corbin Park tomorrow (Wednesday, August 14) starting at 6pm.

Just to be clear: You don’t have to be involved in any way with the Emerson-Garfield Neighborhood Council to attend. This is open to everyone who lives, works, and plays in Emerson-Garfield. It’s a chance for everyone who’s even loosely associated with the neighborhood to come together and get to know one another.

There will be free hot dogs and soda as well as plates, napkins and utensils (all out-of-pocket donations from EGNC volunteers, by the way), but it is a potluck, so please remember to bring a chair and your favorite dish to share.

An informal, open-air neighborhood council meeting will take place at 7pm. If it’s your first encounter with the EGNC, feel free to eavesdrop and see what goes on.

We look forward to seeing you there!

COPS Night Out Against Crime, Aug 6

August 5, 2013 Emerson Garfield

Spokane C.O.P.S. is sponsoring a Night Out Against Crime 2013 on Tuesday, August 6.

They’re asking participants to “give crime a going-away party” in honor of the 30th annual National Night Out Against Crime. Participants can schedule a barbecue, potluck, or any kind of get-together.

The National Night Out (NNO) has become a way for people all across the United States to show their unity in the face of crime. In the past, NNOs have resulted in the formation of Block Watch areas and allowed residents and business owners the chance to meet the officers who patrol their neighborhoods.

NNOs can:

Strengthen neighborhood support
Increase crime prevention awareness
Stimulate anti-crime efforts

If you’d like to register your own party, there’s still time! Click here to register your NNO party online. Or simply download the NNO registration form and then fax it to (509) 835-4595 or take it to your nearest C.O.P.S. Shop. Emerson-Garfield’s COPS North Central substation is located at 630 W Shannon [map].

For party ideas, check out the NNO Block Party Guide. And if you’ve scheduled an NNO party, please get in touch or leave a comment so we can help promote it.
