SUPERVISOR GLORIA MOLINA ANNOUNCES VALINDA CORRIDOR

VALINDA (July 30, 2010) – Crime is down in the Valinda Corridor, and local residents and Neighborhood Watch groups are celebrating at the Valinda Corridor National Night Out and Community March August 3.  The free event begins with the march and a free concert.  In addition to resources and information booths, other family activities include game booths, childrens’ face painting, watermelon eating and pie throwing contests, raffle prizes, giveaways, and much more.

 

Sponsored by Target, the Valinda Corridor Night Out is planned in partnership with Los Angeles County Supervisor Gloria Molina’s office, County Parks and Recreation, Sheriff’s Industry Station, L.A. County Fire Station 26, and local Neighborhood Watch and MASH groups.

 

National Night Out is designed to heighten crime prevention awareness; generate support for, and participation in, local anticrime programs; strengthen neighborhood spirit and police-community partnerships; and send a message to criminals letting them know that neighborhoods are organized and fighting back. Sponsor is the national sponsor.  In 2009, more than 30 million people participated from 14,625 communities from all 50 states, U.S. territories, Canadian cities, and military bases worldwide.  This year’s National Night Out is expected to be the largest ever.
