National “FUN” Night Out

Wesley United Methodist Church hosted an evening of FUN on Tuesday for National Night Out.  This was the location of just one of the many events held throughout the country  National Night Out, held annually since 1984 to promote neighborhood camaraderie, police-community partnerships and to send a message to criminals letting them know that neighborhoods are organized and fighting back!

Several groups planned this event that was full of fun for the kids and families in the neighborhood El Dorado Park neighborhood: 

Wesley United Methodist Church

El Dorado Community Leaders

Associated Student, Inc. (ASI – Fresno State)

Boys & Girls Club, and

Building Neighborhood Capacity Program (BNCP).

.

The evening was filled with face painting, activities (including some of ENP’s new carnival games), food and resources for the families.  

Special thanks to all the volunteers who made this evening a success, including students from several Fresno State organizations, Fresno State Campus Police, Dave Corona (with his fun games) and Via Church who is a new partner for Wolters Elementary School in this neighborhood.

It was a GREAT evening!
