In addition to the resources provided by the City (details below) the Palisades Neighborhood Association (PNA) can also help you with your National Night Out event by sending out emails to your immediate PNA area (not the entire PNA) to let them know about your event. Please contact the PNA by July 30 and we’ll make it happen!

From the City’s website:
Register your party with the City today!
The City is encouraging residents to get to know their neighbors and we think the best way to do this is to have a party! 
Everyone enjoys a potluck, BBQ, music and games, so organize a get-together for Tuesday, August 6 – National Night Out – and invite your friends and neighbors. Then, let us know.
If you register your neighborhood party with the City by Tuesday, July 30, your party will receive a visit by a fire truck or police car, maybe even a Police K9.  Plus, they will bring cookies! The ACC bus and Library ROVER will also stop by a few parties to say hello.
Enjoy this great opportunity to get to know your neighbors, public safety professionals and other amazing City staff, and to have fun! 
National Night Out is a nationwide initiative to promote public safety and community partnerships. It’s a night when neighborhoods all across the city and nation come together for barbeques, potlucks, and ice cream socials.
