letter to Contra Costa Times:
"On National Night Out, all we do is come out front and meet neighbors. We have a barbecue and just get to know each other. That is all it takes. It's good food, good neighbors and a fun night for all." - Newsletter

"The idea behind the 28th National Night Out is to draw people out of their homes to meet their neighbors and community leaders. If you know your neighbors you might be more likely to report a suspicious person in their yards or an unfamiliar car parked on the street." - News

"Concord's celebration of Tuesday's 2011 National Night Out in Todos Santos Plaza promotes police-community crime prevention efforts and offers something of interest for everyone."
