I hope you're having a great summer. These popular community events in our district are just around the corner:

National Night Out

On Tuesday, August 7, millions of Americans across the country will gather to demonstrate their support for anti-crime programs by participating in the annual observance of National Night Out. It's a great opportunity to build community and strengthen the neighborhood spirit. Please click on the city below for information about gatherings near you:

• San Francisco
