JOIN WRT AT NATIONAL NIGHT OUT IN HASTINGS, NEBRASKA!
CHAUTAUQUA PARK 5:30 P.M. TO 7:30 P.M. TONIGHT!
The citizens of Hastings and residents in neighborhoods across the nation are asked to lock their doors, turn on outside lights and spend the evening outside with neighbors and police.
Each year the Crime Prevention Committee of the Hastings Area Chamber of Commerce hosts a BBQ, visits with police, various community organizations, and other activities on the first Tuesday in August.
National Night Out, which is sponsored by the National Association of Town Watch (NATW) and co-sponsored locally by the Hastings Police Department, will involve over 11,000 communities from all-50 states, U.S. territories, Canadian cities and military bases around the world.

Our volunteers are available from 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. seven days a week, including all holidays. The Hotline Number is a 24 hour answering service available for after hours, to take messages. There are some volunteers that are available for after-hours care, depending on the type of animal.
Please call the Hotline if you have questions about a wild animal, need assistance with an injured or orphaned animal or you would like more information on becoming a member of WRT! Our monthly meetings take place every second Tuesday at Grace Lutheran Church at 22nd & Washington in Lincoln. 7 p.m.
During the spring and summer months our volunteers are very busy with animal care. If there is any way you can transport the animal to a WRT member, it would be very helpful and much appreciated. The on-call person can direct you to the closest WRT volunteer available based on your location. |
