National Night Out is August 3

Tuesday, August 3 is National Night Out. There are 18 NNO events registered in Corcoran so far.

Check out a map of the Corcoran events, including planned activities.

Event organizers: Looking at the map, is there an adjacent block with no plans for National Night Out? Consider inviting these folks to your event.

Does your block need help planning a last-minute event? Contact Eric at CNO for assistance. And don't forget to register your event with the City.

At your NNO event, look for an information flyer from Corcoran GROWS, and neighborhood Welcome Packets for new neighbors, being distributed to event organizers by Joe Hesla. If you miss the flyer and Welcome Packets or need extra copies, please contact GROWS by e-mail, or contact the CNO office.
