National Night Out 2013


On Tuesday, August 6, 2012, communities around the nation and in Canada will come together to celebrate police and community partnerships!  And Lilburn is no different. 

For the fourth consecutive year, the City of Lilburn, the Lilburn Police Dept., and SafetySmart Lilburn Inc. have teamed together to sponsor a FREE public event, “Lilburn National Night Out 2013”, in Lilburn City Park from 6:00 PM to 8:30 PM.  

Last year, over 800 people attended Lilburn’s event making it the largest celebration of National Night Out in Georgia!  In addition, over 50 organizations including non-profits, businesses, and government agencies attended to spread information about community and personal safety.    And this year, we are pleased to have added new participants to that list.  There will be all kinds of information available, entertainment and activities for the entire family, including furry or feathery family members too!

We hope that you will join us in Lilburn City Park for what is sure to be a fabulous time!  If you can’t be there, then your friends from SafetySmart encourage you to be visible in your neighborhood that evening.  Turn on an outside light/porch light from 8 PM to 10 PM.  Organize a get together with neighbors, take a walk, go visit a neighbor, sit on your porch or play outside with the kids.  Show criminals that Lilburn supports law enforcement and that we protect our neighborhoods and community.   Let them know that “Someone is watching YOU!”        

For more information on the event go to www.safetysmartlilburn.org.  And if you are interesting in helping us, you can sign up to volunteer on our home page.
