Block Leader Training – November 19
Neighbors who know each other help make their neighborhood a safer community. Neighbors don’t have to be best friends; they just have to look out for each other. Block Club Leaders serve an important role with helping communication and connections between neighbors about safety issues on their block. Communications can be through email and/or face-to-face meetings about immediate concerns. Block Club Leaders often also help initiate some type of National Night Out party for their block and maybe adjacent blocks.
Community Crime Prevention Specialist Tim Hammett, has agreed to conduct a Block Leader training in the neighborhood specifically for Victory Neighborhood residents who wish to become Block Leaders or current leaders who want a little refresher course. The training will be November 19 from 6:30-8 p.m. at St. Austin’s Brennan Hall, 4050 Upton Ave N. Contact the ViNA to register for the training at 612-529-9558 or info@victoryneighborhood.org.
No ViNA meeting in November due to the Thanksgiving Holiday.
Next Meeting is December 9.
