National Night Out 2024 Was a Huge Success

By Julie Whitcomb, Co-organizer of NNO 2024

Wow! Over 200 adults and children joined their neighbors for National Night Out (NNO). Thank you, neighbors, for coming to NNO 2024 hosted by NFCCA at Forest Knolls Pool.

NFCCA Board Secretary Sarah Dye spoke with Montgomery County Police Officers who stopped by.

NFCCA Treasurer Sondra Katz was on hand to accept dues payments.

We hope everyone had a great time swimming, enjoying free snow cones, chatting with friends, meeting new neighbors, listening to the band, getting tattoos, mingling with police officers, and being outdoors on a beautiful, hot summer evening!

Special thanks to Jen Ritchotte, FKP President; Melissa Snyder, FKP Secretary; and FKP Board Members Lisa King Cull and Kasha Hayes for all their help. Lots of thanks to the terrific lifeguards who worked during the NNO event; Alex Scott, Peter Coccaro, Quinn Hayes, Sam Miller, and Vickie Vaughan were professional, helpful, friendly, and awesome!

A big thank you to Walter Medrano, who donated use of his sno-cone machine. We all got to enjoy delicious sno-cones thanks to Walter.

NFCCA Board Members Ema Perez and John Prochilo helped dish sno-cones to awaiting children.

FKP lifeguards Alex Scott, Peter Coccaro, Quinn Hayes, Sam Miller, and Vickie Vaughan protected swimmers during the event.

Thanks to the band, Phillip and the Flatheads, for their terrific tunes, back at NNO for a third year by popular demand.

Thanks to Caitlin Thomas for arranging the Little Lady Grill food truck, and to Glenda and Mo for grilling their delicious Latin Fusion platters and sandwiches.
