Mountain Residents’ Night Out: August 6

Posted on by

Join us on Tuesday, August 6, from 6:00–9:00 p.m. and meet the local law enforcement groups that keep our community safe. Invited groups include:

Also participating are volunteer groups such as:

Participating groups provide a wide range of public safety information. The sheriff’s departments bring specialty equipment and personnel. In past years, there have been SWAT teams, bomb-detecting equipment, search and rescue dogs, and fingerprinting for children. In addition to fire truck tours, the fire departments will offer information on home and wildland fire safety. Find out what the local amateur radio club, CERT, and the Mountain Emergency Response Corps do in a major disaster. Many of the groups provide special activities for children.

Nonno’s will serve a barbecue dinner for the low price of $5.00. Veggie burgers will be available. Purchase dinner tickets at the event, or get them in advance at Nonno’s or the RESA office (check office hours here).

The Loma Prieta Community Foundation and the Redwood Estates Services Association host Mountain Residents’ Night Out. For more information, call Mona at RESA, 408-353-1866, or Sue at LPCF, 408-353-2832.
