3. We will discuss Hillpoint Farms participation with National Night Out at Obici which will happen on Tuesday, August 5th, 6-9pm.  On Facebook:  National Night Out at Obici Hospital

Gearing up for 2014’s National Night Out at Obici Hospital

Gearing up for 2014’s National Night Out at Obici Hospital
Save the Date:  Tuesday, August 5, 2014 6-9pm

Did you miss the 2013 National Night Out at Obici?
In the past it was a lot of work for a handful of people to get the event planned, organized, advertised, setup, and manned. We all have busy work and personal lives which can make it hard to volunteer for different outside activities. The combined 2013 event at Obici Hospital was much easier for all those that helped out plus pooling different resources and talents help us put on a nicer event that was less work for those helping out. (If you missed out on last summer’s grand event check out some of the links at the end of this note.)

Did it cost Hillpoint Farms HOA anything last year?
No – NOT A PENNY! We chose not to ask for any funds and fund the event via sponsor donations.

So who paid for the free food and entertainment?
Food: We our thanks to the Obici Healthcare Foundation, they sponsored the full cost of the food that was served to everyone that attended. Ricky and Roy’s Catering of Suffolk, prepared burgers, hot dogs and chips. We also had Acorn Hill Farms and B & H Vegetables which each donated watermelons. You can find both of these vendors at the Suffolk Farmers Market.

Entertainment: This was a group effort of the Suffolk Peanut Cloggers, local fitness organizations in and around Suffolk. For children we had the carnival games with prizes, puppet stage, face painting, and the popular Teeny Tiny Farm. Not to mention all the help we received from the volunteer crew of the USS Abraham Lincoln, which manned the games and helped wherever they were needed.

What will be at the 2014 event?
More of everything we had last year. But this year we have more time to get ready so we can give more local neighboring communities, people, and businesses time to make arrangements to help out.
This includes:
  • FOOD – We know everyone loves to eat, and with the help of sponsors, we get free food!
  • Stage entertainment – local area music and entertainment
  • For the Kids – the puppet stage, petting farm, and more
  • For Everyone - Obici’s expanded Health Fair, law enforcement and rescue vehicles to tour
  • Vendors – we will have a larger area for local family friendly businesses to showcase their products and services so that we can support them.
  • Local Organizations – We want to see more local organizations that are of benefit for our communities
Who can participate and how can I get involved?
With a little bit of help from everyone we can have an awesome planning and fun event.
  • Neighborhoods - Hillpoint and Applewood Farms communities and Burnett’s Mill were the driving forces for last years’ event. This year we want more of the communities close to Obici Hospital to get involved.
  • Businesses – We are looking for a few businesses that would like to help as sponsors covering the expenses for the event, AND/OR businesses that would like to showcase their products and services at the event.
  • Organizations -  The military is always helpful and willing to help out. If you are part of ANY branch, we would love to have a team of your buddies help out. Are you part of or know of helpful local organizations that would be of benefit to our neighbors? (MOPS, Scouts, Sign-up for team sports, etc.)
  • Individuals – We need lots of help of all sorts. Walkers for flyer distribution. If you have experience contacting larger organizations, we need help making sponsor connections. We also need help with setting up at the event, creating posters, post event take down, cleanup and more.
