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。

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:
