From San Ramon Jun Dong:

别的区都很羡慕我们, 下次多组织这种有意义的活动 。警察们讲, 他们和他们的家人都非常感谢我们。他们每天出门, 家人都担心他们的安全。我们能这么积极参与社区安全建设, 对他们是最大的支持。他们希望我们发现任何可疑的情况及时和他们沟通。他们欢迎大家多麻烦他们。

From Dublin 邵秋云 :

national night out. 呼吁大家走出家门，跟邻居们聚一聚，聊聊天，相互认识了解一下。朋友在公园里组织了活动，警长，市长，学区委员，消防员也来跟大家见面聊天，孩子们有冰淇淋吃，有可乐喝，有小礼物[礼物]拿，有pokemon go gym和stop玩，有球打，有playground，沙坑堆沙子，所以吸引了很多参与者。

From Pleasanton Jia Liu:

Tawny park ,pleasanton也是比平时热闹很多，一对住在附近的居民感到非常高兴，他们说小孩子小的时候经常在这里和别的孩子玩，有一些年孩子来得很少，比较冷清，近来来的孩子开始多了，今晚这么热闹，来了这么多人，真好。

这里也有一个救火车，孩子们都上去了，还得到了fire fighter 的礼物。

From Livermore Alice Wang:

Livermore 今晚的night out活动很成功，高中生义工们给力，Livermore邻居们难得有机会和市长和警察们聊天照相。

组织了这次Livermore 邻居活动，新老朋友互相交流很开心还有冰淇淋吃，警察和市长也来参加，让我们的社区更有凝聚力。

From APAPA Bay Area Vice Chair Albert Wang:

Thanks to Andy and all the organizers of these events. National Night Out is the perfect forum for APAPA to reach out to the mainstream. Glad to see people of all ethnicity attending these events, not to mention they looked like a lot of fun!! This should help relationship building a great deal and such relationships will be very helpful in enhancing understanding between Chinese Americans and others around us. Kudos to all!!

From Assemblywoman Catherine Baker:

Happy #NationalNightOut, AD16! Thank you to all those who hosted and attended a NNO tonight, including our local law enforcement, Scouts, churches, and neighbors. NNO gatherings help us unify and look out for one another and our community. -with Angie Coffee, Walnut Creek Police Department, Candace J.
