Maine Township issued the following announcement on July 16.
National Night Out Against Crime (NNO), is scheduled for Tuesday, Aug. 7, from 6:30 to 9 p.m. at Dee Park, 9229 Emerson in unincorporated Maine Township. Designed to promote family fun and neighborhood unity, NNO also educates residents on crime prevention and safety. It is sponsored by Maine Township, Neighborhood Watch, Cook County Sheriff’s Police, Golf Maine Park District, North Maine Fire District and other community businesses. This theme for this year is Lights On Mean Lights Out for Crime.
Local school children will again be making posters based on this theme. Winners of the popular poster contest will be announced at the event where prizes will be awarded.
National Night Out is called America’s Night Out Against Crime and has grown from 2.5 million participants in its first year to over 30 million in 10,000+ communities and in
unincorporated areas such as Maine Township. Over the years our NNO has become one of the premier celebrations of the National Night Out Against Crime, according to Laura J. Morask, Township Supervisor. “I am so pleased to have helped grow and sponsor this event. Our local kids love it, particularly the partnership with
schools for the poster contest,” she said.
Local talent interested in performing at the event as well as residents and businesses who wish to volunteer or donate prizes, should contact Township Clerk Peter Gialamas at petegialamas@yahoo.com
or call 847-297-2510.
