Neighborhood Night Out (NNO) 2007
Tuesday, August 7, 6PM - 9PM -- wiki page - PHOTOS!
North Acres Park
From Beth Gleason:
On a clear and warm August evening over 140 neighbors gathered together with
lawn chairs in tow at our own North Acres Park for Austin's annual
"Neighborhood Night Out" (NNO) event. The new gathering space was breezy and
temperate, and this year we were supplied with a microphone & PA, courtesy
of neighbor Lowell Rice.
"State of the neighborhood" reports were graciously given by our own Police
Dept. officer, Jimmy Diaz, as well as the Fire Department. Children enjoyed
climbing aboard the fire engine supplied by the Rundberg fire station and
staff. The merchants bordering our neighborhood donated over 30 gift
certificates and Walter Toll supplied the HEB-donated ice cream with all the
fixin's; watermelon was donated by Patty Sylvana.
It was nice to see so many young couples with children join us this year,
along with our long-time residents....Many THANKS to the NNO Committee who
worked so diligently in putting all the details of the event together, from
finding the right person to cut the park lawn to being persistent in getting
all those gift certificates from our merchant neighbors.
If you met a new neighbor or had a chance to chat with an old one at this
year's NNO, be sure to wave the next time you see them in the
neighborhood....and we'll see you at next years' Neighborhood Night Out!
Thanks to the NNO Committee: Kim Foster, Faye Holland, Walter Toll, Larisssa
Radionov, Patty Sylvana, Cynthia Konkle, J. G. Butler, D. Lam, Lowell &
Veronica Rice, Joyce Smith, Marie Cervelli, Carol Gresser, Tamie Hunt,
Ardeth Still, Ramon Trevino and Beth Gleason.
Thanks to the neighborhood merchants who donated gift certificates:
Bennigan's, Chili's, Antonio's, Applebee's, Red Lobster, Wendy's, Extended
Stay Hotels, MacDonald's, Shell Signature Store,
Enterprise Car rental, HSBC Credit Center, Fantastic Sam's, Hollywood Video,
Sprint (and Mrs. Still who donated several surprise wrapped gifts at the
event!)
