NEIGHBORHOOD NIGHT OUT AT JCC, AUGUST 7th A GREAT SUCCESS.

Very well attended. Thanks to all who participated and attended.

Mary Silver deserves special thanks for being the driving force
behind this event.

County Legislators Dan McCoy and Gary Domalewicz and Ward 8 Alderman
John Rosenzweig co-sponsored the event and did a fine job.

Mayor Jennings and APD Chief Tuffey stopped by.

The Albany Police Pipe Band put on a great performance.

Members of Operation Impact, the mounted and motor cycle patrols
were present also.

The County Health Department and Red Cross had excellent information
available.


We expanded the traditional night out focus to include
emergency/disaster preparedness.

Watch for a follow up event with Red Cross Preparedness Coordinator
Jim Greene who will work with us to help idividuals, homeowners and neighborhood churches, synagogues, schools, health care providers, and businesses prepare
to survive natural and man made disasters and terror attacks: with institutions
organizing to serve as refuges, providing shelter, water, food, alternate power
heat and other assistance.
