• Planning Week, June 14-20, is
designed to make putting together a NNO party a simple matter. Often NW Groups
scramble at the last minute to get parties together. Meeting during Planning
Week to prepare in advance can make things easier for active NW Groups. It’s
also a great time for new NW Groups to organize. Early planning helps to share
the work so no one has to do a lot and everyone can enjoy the NNO event. The
City of Orlando Police Department coordinates the City’s NNO each year and is
promoting this 1st Annual NNO Planning Week.
