On Tuesday, Aug. 3 at 5:30 p.m., the 21st Annual National Night Out: America's Night Out Against Crime will be held. New Cassel/Westbury will join with thousands of other communities nationwide to march together to heighten crime and drug prevention awareness; generate support for and participation in local anti-crime efforts; strengthen neighborhood spirit and police/neighborhood partnerships; and send the message that New Cassel/Westbury is part of this national initiative, is organized and is fighting back.

North Shore Child & Family Guidance Center, Long Island's leading children's mental health center for more than half a century, along with New Cassel/Westbury Weed and Seed, a community-driven strategy, will coordinate this event.

Sponsored by the National Association of Town Watch and supported in part by the United States Department of Justice, the event will feature a special march, festivities, music, multi-cultural entertainment, sports, recreation and community information. The National Night Out: America's Night Out Against Crime will take place at Martin "Bunky" Read Park.
