National Night Out is now NIGHT TO UNITE!
The Minnesota Crime Prevention Association, of which the Moorhead Police Department is a member, has decided to withdraw from National Night Out and start its own night out for neighbors, called Minnesota Night to Unite. This event will be held on the first Tuesday in August, just like NNO.
This change is exciting because it is an opportunity for Minnesota to create its own identity around the idea of neighborhood solidarity and safety and for the Minnesota Crime Prevention Association to offer reasonably priced Night to Unite products, the proceeds for which will stay in Minnesota and benefit this non-profit association.
The Moorhead Police Department will promote and be actively involved in this event.
This is an opportunity for Moorhead residents to gather as neighbors to affirm their commitment to a safe, healthy community. As you plan your NTU event, try to draw in all the people you can. Everyone benefits when neighbors know each other. The connections that are made and strengthened through NTU carry far beyond this evening. Close-knit neighborhoods are safe neighborhoods.
If you would like to receive a NTU registration packet, please e-mail
Robin.Hamre@ci.moorhead.mn.us or call her at 299-5324. Or you can download and print a
National Night Out Registration Packet.
and send it to Robin at the Moorhead Police Department, 915 9th Avenue.
Help keep Moorhead's tradition of strong and vibrant neighborhoods going! Let's make this first annual Night to Unite a night to remember!
