On August 6, the Neighborhood Association will host our fifth annual ice

please join your neighbors in
the east side of the park
(between Elm and
Church streets) at 7:00
p.m. Enjoy the ice
cream meet your
neighbors, catch a
demo from public
safety representatives including
police and fire
fighters, and meet elected officials.
In all, 32 million people participated in
National Night Out 2001 in the U.S and
Canada. For more information on National
Night Out, visit http://

Mark your calendar now. We'll be in
the park from 7 to 9 on August 6, so bring
your family! And anyone interested in helping
dip ice cream should contact Ann Stringfield
at 274-1393- ^r>
j^Tlus autumn, Fisher Park will be the
/   scene of get-togethers on every block,
with a gala finale in the park with desserts
and the Greensboro Big Band.
As our Centennial year winds down,
we're celebrating the old fashioned way,
encouraging Fisher Park residents to plan
block parties, progressive dinners, cook
outs, and other gatherings to celebrate our
one-of-a kind neighborhood.
Then, when it's time for dessert,
everyone's invited to join their neighbors in
Fisher Park for dessert and music.
Sponsored by the Fisher Park Neighborhood Association, there's no charge for the
desserts, which we'll start serving at 7:30
p.m. on Saturday, September 28.
If it rains, we'll gather at the Rypins
Building on Florence Street across from
Temple Emmanuel.
We hope you and your neighbors will
share in the fun planned for September 28,
and then join the rest of us in the park as
the sound of swing music fills the air. To
volunteer or if you have questions, please
call Liz Urquhart at 373-1250. J*r>
