This year, Membership is hosting a Membership Contest with a Twist. If you have more members on your block than last year, you will have a percentage increase. The long and short block with the highest percentage increase will win the contest! So, instead of being in a contest with the rest of the neighborhood, you are in a contest with your own block. It's kind of like you are on the swim team swimming for your team to win, but you want to get your best personal time as you do! If your block has 100% or more increase in membership over last year, you automatically qualify for wine for your National Night Out Party in October. If your block reaches 100% membership, you will also automatically qualify for wine for NNO. Also, if the highest percentage increase

block ends up getting 100% increase before my next article, they will qualify for wine, and the second highest percentage increase block will go to the top. The contest will officially end on September 15.

Here are the top 5 blocks this year as of July 13:

• 1st Place: 1302-1326 Valleta & 6514-6542 Wynnwood – 31% increase

• 2nd Place: 1303-1327 Guese – 18% increase

• 3rd Place: 6202-6235 Linton – 14% increase

• 4th Place (tie):1302-1318 Jeannine – 11% increase
