This year’s National Night Out is being held on Tuesday October 6th, 2020 from 6pm to 8pm and will be quite different.  Please read below for additional information.

Due to the COVID 19 virus situation we request that no one hold block parties this year.  Be safe and practice good social distancing.

Since we are not recommending block parties or social gatherings we are recommending that each registered block celebrate NNO by:

COVID-19

We are not out of the woods yet and COVID-19 will be with us for some time to come, but the situation has improved. Let’s not let our guard down now. We can get together and still minimize the risk of infection.

Can’t have a parade or picnic, but we won’t let a virus stop us from celebrating the 4th! Join the fun!

CONVID-19

While we are not out of the woods yet, things continue to improve. It’s now possible to get a haircut or a perm. You can also go out to a restaurant. The businesses are operating under strict guidelines to minimize the risk of infection. Those who are at greater risk are encouraged to continue to be cautious.

The Yard of the Month judges checked out the yards and selected a winner and runner-up. 

You may have noticed these signs in Richardson neighborhoods. The North College Park Neighborhood Association purchased several of these signs and they are $10 each with all proceeds going to the The Network of Community Ministries.  If you want a sign for you yard, please contact Janice Gromadin at elway100@tx.rr.com.

CONVID-19

As I write this the news is much better than we feared. While things are not yet back to normal, we believe that some of the restrictions will be relaxed soon. We will all have to adjust to a new normal.

Thanks to the great response in the neighborhood and I know that we have been pulling together. Please continue to be aware of your neighbors and be prepared to lend a hand, if you are able, and if not report a problem. Keep checking on your neighbors, particularly the ones who are elderly and live alone. That quick phone call, text or email can make a world of difference.
