Tuesday is National Night Out

1. National Night Out

National Night Out, celebrated by more than 15,000 communities across the United States, Canada and U.S. military bases worldwide, will be marking its 30th anniversary Tuesday. Unlike last year, there will be two National Night Out venues in Eagle Rock, from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m. Besides the usual 2626 Colorado Blvd. location in the upper parking lot of Target at Eagle Rock Plaza, a celebration will also be held at the Seventh Day Adventist Church, located on 2322 Merton Ave. Sponsored by the office of Councilmember José Huizar, Sir Michael’s Party Rentals and the Los Angeles Police Department Northeast Community station, among others, National Night Out is aimed at increasing public awareness about crime and drug prevention as well as generating support for local anticrime initiatives, including by strengthening police-community partnerships.

2. Eagle Rock Neighborhood Council meets Wednesday

The monthly board meeting of the Eagle Rock Neighborhood Council has been pushed from the usual first Tuesday of the month to Wednesday, Aug. 6, in light of National Night Out. The meeting will start at 7 p.m. and end at about 9 p.m. in the Arthur K. Snyder Community Room on the first floor of Eagle Rock City Hall, 2035 Colorado Blvd.

3. Is your child ready to go back to Eagle Rock High School next week?

The California Department of Public Health requires all students between grades 7 and 12 to show proof that they have received Pertussis Booster immunizations (TDAP), which protect against diphtheria, tetanus, and whooping cough. Make sure your child has received this booster shot before the first day of school, which is Aug. 13 in the case of Eagle Rock High. Click here for details.
