November 13th Neighborhood Cleanup

Our next neighborhood cleanup will be on Saturday, November 13th. It will be a little different than a cleanup, though. Volunteers will be canvassing the neighborhood, inspecting the sidewalks - identifying areas that need to be replaced, any that need to be edged, or low-hanging limbs that need to be cut. This will be huge a step in beautifying our neighborhood.

Volunteers will meet at Scott and Fred's house at 5218 Braddock Avenue at 9am. Maps and forms will be distributed and areas will be assigned. Look forward to seeing lots of volunteers on Saturday!

National Night Out

On Tuesday, August 3rd citizens, law enforcement agencies, community groups, businesses and local officials in over 10,000 communities and military bases worldwide will join forces to mark the 27th Annual National Night Out.

Locally, the North Charleston Police Department, in conjunction with national sponsor Target Stores, will sponsor the 27th Annual National Night Out event Tuesday, August 3, 2010 from 6:00 pm to 9:00 pm.

At 6:00 pm, Mayor Pro-Tem Bob King, along with Ferndale neighborhood president Charlynne Smith, will join residents to kick off a neighborhood cookout and crime prevention walk. The event will take place at the Ferndale Gym located on Piedmont Avenue.

Similar events will occur simultaneously in neighborhoods throughout the city. Citizens are asked to turn on their porch lights as a sign of unity and to let the criminals know that the City of North Charleston is organized and fighting back.

National Night Out is designed to (1) heighten crime and drug prevention awareness; (2) generate support for and participation in local anti-crime programs; (3) strengthen neighborhood spirit, police and community relations; and (4) send a message to criminals letting them know that neighborhoods around the world are organized and vigilant against crime.

Nationally, over 33 million people will participate in ‘America’s Night Out Against Crime’ this year.

The Cameron Terrace / Oak Park Civic Club is celebrating with Oak Terrace Preserve. There will be a cookout with live music in the pocket park in front of the School of the Arts at the end of Lakawanna Blvd.
