Safer Together 2024

Safer Together 2024 - New and Improved!

In 2023, SJNA helped our members host 31 block parties, which had over 1000 people attend. The St. Johns NET Team came and presented short talks on disaster resilience, and there were games, lots of food, and most important, neighbors meeting neighbors, often for the first time.

This year, we have tweaked the approach. Just as we did last year, we can ...

• Help you with supplies - tents, tables, games, bouncy house, barricades.

• Help you with planning - Thanks to everyone who hosted in 2023, we learned how to make block parties easy.

• Give you moral support - People who have hosted in the past have volunteered to be 'buddies' for people hosting now.

• Facilitate relations - We are friends with PBOT and can help you get a street closure permit (it's actually easy) and we can consolidate requests to have Station 22 send you a fire truck for the kids (and adults!) to enjoy. 

Wait Wait - there's more! This year, we have a projector and an outdoor screen. We can help you show movies at your block party, or - just call it a neighborhood movie night.  (We even have a popcorn popper). 

We'll support you in doing whatever you like to bring your street or block closer together and help you be more resilient - and have a good time.
