On Tuesday, August 5, 2008, from 5 to 8 p.m., everyone is invited to the local crimefighters’ open house. This fun and educational event, emphasizing ‘country as community’, takes place all over the United States on the same day as the [National Night Out](http://www.nationaltownwatch.org/nno/?ref=bklyner.com) so that the entire country can take one huge collective bite out of crime and drugs. Facing crime is stressful and costly, so for one night, our community can relax and have some fun under the safe and watchful eye of our local law enforcement, right in their own backyard at Coney Island Ave and Ave W.

All costs for the event are being provided free by the [61st Precinct Community Council](http://www.nyc.gov/html/nypd/html/precincts/precinct%5F061.shtml?ref=bklyner.com) and [Auxiliaries](http://www.qsl.net/wb2qds/newyork.htm?ref=bklyner.com), the [Law Enforcement Explorers](http://www.learning-for-life.org/exploring/lawenforcement/?ref=bklyner.com), and the Police Officers of the 61st Precinct, with the support of area merchants and elected officials, but donations are encouraged–so, be sure that this will be the safest night to carry your checkbook with you.
