The BIG NIGHT

Tuesday, August 5th, 5:30 pm, National Night Out

We’ll kick off this year’s festivities at the Burnett’s Mill Clubhouse as a testament to the resilience, faith and community spirit that exists in Suffolk following our devastating tornado. Our citizens will be joining over 35 million people nationwide in this 25th anniversary celebration in the fight against crime! Even if you can’t attend a community event, you can still turn on your porch lights as a sign of solidarity. Remember, an alert and cooperative neighborhood is the best defense against crime!
