Action Encourages Resident Participation in Events

BUFFALO—Mayor Byron W. Brown today announced that fees for block party permits issued by the City of Buffalo will again be waived for National Night Out Against Crime on Tuesday, August 7, 2007.  This is the 24th year for the event.

“The permit fees are waived to encourage residents in every section of the City to participate with their neighbors in these worthwhile events,” said Mayor Brown.  “This is an excellent opportunity to get to know your neighbors and discuss the quality of life issues that affect your neighborhoods, such as blight, crime, drugs, graffiti, and other issues.  I encourage everyone to take advantage of this opportunity.”

National Night Out Against Crime began in 1984.  It started out as a “porch lights on” event, but has expanded over the years to include block parties, cookouts, parades, visits from police, festivals, neighborhood walks, safety fairs, contests, rallies and meetings.
