On Tuesday evening the Neighborhood Security Office (NSI) invited CWE residents to an ice cream social to celebrate National Night Out. The annual event showcases the importance of police, community partnerships, and citizen involvement in the fight for a safer neighborhood. The event was held on the parking lot adjacent to the NSI office at 447 N. Euclid.
Those who stopped by included firemen from the neighborhood's Engine House 28, above.

CWEnders and Personal Trainer/Zumba Instructor Noelle Lopez and Phil Clow also stopped by to say hello.
The flyer for the CWE's National Night Out invited neighbor's to "give crime a going away party." With the success of supplemental police patrols, increased security cameras and the Neighborhood Security Office located on Euclid, the CWE has become a much safer place.
Sorry I had to miss the event, but thanks to Jim Dwyer for sharing the photos, and bringing home some Ted Drewes.
