THE 2019 INFORMATION AND ANNOUNCEMENT
National Night Out is next Tuesday, August 06, at the Palmyra Middle School, from 5pm-8pm!
We are excited about the changes coming to this year’s event. The Palmyra Area School District has partnered with the North Londonderry Police, South Londonderry Police, Palmyra Police, and the Palmyra Fire Company to host National Night Out 2019. We’ll be posting information throughout the week and providing updates for any last-minute changes. The information will also be included on our website. All of the named agencies will be represented, giving residents time to talk with the first responders that serve their community.
So, what are some of the things you can you expect at this year’s NNO? The stadium will have 68 sites around the track. The Football and Band Boosters will be selling food from the concession stand, just like a Friday night. There will also be Farmshow Milkshakes for sale! Palmyra High Student Jake Nguyen will be providing music, with an appearance from the Palmyra High School Band. There will be a kid’s “Candy Scramble” at 6pm in the Stadium. Walnut Street will be closed to vehicle traffic starting at 3pm, with a Rock Climbing Wall and other attractions. The Fire Company will be open and have sites at the building, with more activities including Bounce Houses, an Inflatable Slide, and an Obstacle Course in between the Stadium and Fire Company. PREVAIL Volleyball will have several nets set up in the practice field, including a chance to win T-shirts. There will be a lot to see, and a lot to do. This is meant to be a fun, interactive community event that also allows the emergency responders to strengthen relationships with the people they serve.
Attendance is free. Parking will be available at the School, Rothermel Funeral Home, Trinity UCC, and Pine Street Elementary. Additional parking will be like a Friday night football game, using side streets. If you or your organization wish to participate and haven’t signed up, there are still a few spots available. You can contact tmack@southlondonderry.org or, or call (717)838-1376 for more information.

NATIONAL NIGHT OUT 2018

National Night Out 2018 started off like much of the Summer this year, rain and a thunderstorm. But once the storms moved by, things kicked off with a rainbow and the Palmyra Community Band. And a huge THANKS to Olivia Farabaugh https://oliviafarabaughmusic.com/ for lending us her talent and voice for the night!

Some notes and information about National Night Out
|
|
Through the years National Night Out has come to mean different things to different towns across the Country. In South Londonderry Township, we have found that this is a very beneficial community event that promotes solid relationships between emergency responders and the areas that they serve. We believe that a strong working relationship between a community and their Police Department helps to reduce crime.
|
why nno?The Police Department’s objective in coordinating this event is to promote interaction among the many people who live or work in the area. It offers the chance to meet the police officers and other emergency responders who provide public safety services. It is our hope that NNO will help to open lines of communication with the Police Department and ultimately, help us, help the community.
|
since 2007SLTPD PTL Theresa Mack began coordinating this event in 2007. Since that time, NNO has continued to grow each year and we see more participation from Businesses, Organizations, and Community Groups. If you have never attended, it’s a great opportunity to reacquaint yourself with extended neighbors and old friends. It’s also a chance to meet some new people that may be attending for the first time. This seems especially relevant today as our area continues to grow.
|
thank you!We are very grateful to the people, businesses and organizations that make NNO work. Without their generous donations of food, funds, and time, this event would not be possible. Many volunteers dedicate their time to setting up, serving food, manning a booth, tearing down, or helping out in some of the many ways that allow NNO to happen. If you would like to participate in the event, please contact PTL Theresa Mack by calling 838-1376, or e-mail her directly at tmack@southlondonderry.org.

a brief history of national night out
According to the National Association of Town Watch, www.natw.org, ‘National Night Out’ began about 35 years ago. They state, “The introduction of National Night Out, “America’s Night Out Against Crime”, in 1984 began an effort to promote involvement in crime prevention activities, police-community partnerships, neighborhood camaraderie and send a message to criminals letting them know that neighborhoods are organized and fighting back. NATW’s National Night Out program culminates annually, on the first Tuesday of August (In Texas, the first Tuesday of October).”
Natw.org also includes that “The first National Night Out took place on Tuesday, August 7th 1984. That first year, 2.5 million Americans took part across 400 communities in 23 states. National Night Out now involves over 37 million people and 15,000 communities from all fifty states, U.S. Territories, Canadian cities, and military bases worldwide.”
