Belvidere Safe Night

Last night I was working at our local park district for “safe night”. Safe Night, which runs 3 or 4 times a year, is a Friday night event for our local children where parents do not have to worry about things like drugs and alcohol, weapons, or violence.  Our safe nights are open to any child in 6^th, 7^th or 8^th grade. There are a few major contributors to safe night and they include:

 

Belvidere Cosmopolitan Club

 

To promote the event, fliers were handed out at the schools to each child, fliers were posted at several places throughout town, newspaper ads were run, and signage was placed out the week of the event.

 

Last night, the park district had several things for the kids to do. There was an inflatable obstacle course, basketball, a DJ, prizes, food, climbing wall and more. Best of all…it’s all FREE for the children! All they have to do is show up and have a parent sign a waiver if they plan on climbing the wall and the rest is on the house.

A total of 24 kids showed up! Shame on all the parents in our town!
