A Successful Night Out
What a great turn-out we had last night! Over 50 concerned citizens along with the Cave Spring Fire Department, the Roanoke County Police, a couple of cute dogs and even cuter kids, showed up to celebrate National Night Out.
After chatting in the Valley Community Church parking lot, sampling some cookies as the kids checked out the police vehicle and fire truck, we all walked together through the neighborhood. People waved from their windows as we illuminated the dark streets, and cars quickly got out of our way ;) I do believe a good time was had by all, and I'm thankful to be part of such a great community.
Unfortunately I forgot to turn the flash on my phone camera (I'm still learning how to use it) so most of the pics didn't come out. If anyone has any photos they'd like to share on the blog please send them to me.
Thanks to everyone who made this night possible...

National Night Out
Dear Neighbors,
Come and join us for the National Night Out on August 4th. The “National Night Out” is an annual event that allows communities to come together to heighten crime and drug prevention awareness, to generate support for anticrime programs, to strengthen neighborhood spirit and police-community relationships, and ultimately, to send a message that our neighborhood is organized and ready to fight back!
We will gather in the parking lot of the Valley Community Church located at 5000 Carriage Drive at 8:30 PM then walk through the neighborhood around 9 PM. This is great opportunity to meet your neighbors and enjoy some light refreshments. Feel free to contact me if you have any questions.
If anyone would like to bring lemonade and/or cookies, I would greatly appreciate it! I am also looking for 3 or 4 bails of hay for the trailer that will carry anyone who wants to participate, but feels as though they cannot walk the route.
Thanks again for your help and involvement!
Sara Cann
