Sector 3's National Night Out Against Crime 2008














HI!









LONA joined the other neighborhoods of Sector 3 as we participated in the annual National Night Out Against Crime.





















The car caravan was fun, as we drove through each neighborhood, waving at the kids playing, and letting the thugs know we were there, that we care, and we would be watching them and their misdeeds!















We all met up at the Edgerton Community Recreation Center for refreshments and fun. I was face-painting and my husband made balloon animals.




















It was a great event, and very positive. Again, I wished that more parents would have accompanied their children to this event. I hope more people are able to come and join in the event next year!

New Picnic Tables for JP RILEY PARK - July 2008

Thanks to all who helped make this possible! The picnic tables look GREAT and are a welcome addition to the family-feel that we want for this playground area.

Thank you to all the contributors, and the hard-working hands that installed them!

Now, let's go have a nice picnic as the kids play nearby! :)

 

PS - It might need to be mentioned that this, like most parks, is a "bring-it-in, take-it-out" place. That means that you must not litter, or you will face a fine, as well as a special place in "heck" for messing up a nice locale for our residents.

I noticed the trash on the ground right after the tables were installed. If anyone sees the culprits, please shame them into picking up after themselves! Adults and teenagers should know better and be role models for the many young children in our area.

Please help take care of this park!!!

LONA has worked really hard on the playground, new basketball court and the picnic area. Please help to make it a clean and inviting place for our neighbors to enjoy! ~ Pam
