On Tuesday, August 1st Rosedale VFC visited the Rosedale community in support of National Night Out.  The goals of National night out are to: heighten crime and drug prevention awareness; generate support for, and participation in, local anticrime programs; strengthen neighborhood spirit and police-community partnerships; and send a message to criminals that neighborhoods are organized and fighting back.  Traditionally, neighborhoods celebrate National Night Out with block parties, cookouts, parades, flashlight walks, and visits from local emergency service organizations.  This years program was another great success for the Rosedale community.
