SOMETHING THAT WE SHOULD DO

The ''NATIONAL NIGHT OUT'' program is a national, growing, event that the Fairways has never participated in.

A brief description of the ''National Night Out'', is communities,all across this great country coming together, on the first Tuesday of August. The case in point is to take a strong, unanimous position against crime. This is done in conjunction with our law enforcement agencies. Typically, a meeting point [such as the Greenbrier or the Westchester parking lot] is chosen and all residents are asked and encouraged to come out for just ''an old fashioned, get together''. 

Some communities,turn the affair into a party with refreshments. One of the largest celebrations,in central Florida is the Avalon Park area. Last year I believe they won the local award from the Sheriff's office.

 During the evening, the meetings are visited by law enforcement officers, and even the Sheriff himself is out and around.

For an event like this to be successful, --it will take help and planning from some residents that KNOW how to plan FUN events.

 We would have about a month and a half to plan and pull this off. Planning and assistance help is available from the sheriff's office. I will be more than happy to contact the responsible officers, ---IF WE HAVE INTEREST___WHAT SAY YOU?

UPDATE----Since this posting was made,--there has been interest shown both here and the ''neighbor next door '' blog.

 I have contacted Deputy Belmont for detailed information. This program requires registration with Orange County.---I have also spoken to our HOA president Gary Doscher. Gary seemed interested. I understand that in most communities, their HOA takes the lead position, supported by other resident groups. This needs to be something of interest to ALL ages of our community,---From the ''BABY BOOMERS'' right up through ''THE GREATEST GENERATION'' The possibilities are unlimited--IF this community comes together on this.

Some suggestions include--''party food''-- and a raffle to benefit our legal fund.---The suggestion of using the Westchester parking lot and rest room facilities, seems to have merit--with it's unlimited space. 

FOLKS---our troubled community needs something like this.----Contact our HOA president and board--keep sending suggestions

WE NEED OUR HOA BOARD TO STEP FORWARD ON THIS AND LEAD OTHER SUPPORTING FACTIONS!

WE CAN DO !
