National Night Out is an annual nationwide event for residents to get out in the community, hold block parties and get to know their neighbors. It's a great way to enjoy a Minnesota summer evening surrounded by friends and family. This year's festivities are set for tomorrow, Tuesday, August 7th. There will be a whopping *thirteen* block parties in Lowry Hill East alone! Below is a list. All are free and open to the public, and neighbors are highly encouraged to get out, even for the first time.  As with many past National Night Outs, Minneapolis was ranked #1 among all U.S. cities over 250,000 population in 2017! Over 1,500 events were registered.
For more information, see the Minneapolis NNO mission statement. At the August 15th LHENA board meeting, LHENA members (residents, business owners, and property owners), will have the opportunity to vote on a proposed reallocation of $150,000 of program income to a new administrative fund. The program income is not currently earmarked and this reallocation would allow LHENA to use the funds for staffing, rent, printing, and other admin-related expenses.
