National Night Out is Tuesday, Aug. 4!

Please join MHNA for our annual observance of National Night Out, America’s night out against crime from 6 p.m. to 8 on Tuesday, August 4 at the Northwest Community Center, 5110 Franklin Ave. There will be free food, family friendly entertainment, door prizes, and great tips and information from public safety personnel about how to safeguard your property against crime. For the kids in our neighborhood, we will have games, a bounce house, and our friends from Bankers Trust will do face painting.

Please spread the word! We look forward to having a great turnout on Tuesday.
