Tuesday Oct. 4th is Neighbor Night Out (NNO)!! Some other states hold events in August but here in Austin, we wait until it's cooler in October.
Please plan to attend NNO on Oct. 4th. This year is extra special for Mueller..... the Citywide Kick-Off Party will be held at the Browning Hangar and includes FOOD • GAMES • CRIME PREVENTION. This is free and open to all Austinites. As the hub for this event, I hope we'll all make the effort to attend and welcome our neighbors from the surrounding communities. Hosting the kick-off party is a great opportunity for us to show that we are a welcoming and inclusive community!
From 7 to 9 p.m., events such as cookouts, block parties and neighborhood walks will occur simultaneously throughout the City of Austin. Citizens are asked to turn on their porch lights, lock their doors and spend the evening outside with their neighbors, City Council Members, police officers, firefighters, EMS paramedics and Code Compliance.
National Night Out is designed to:
1. Heighten crime and drug prevention awareness.
2. Generate support and participation in crime efforts.
3. Strengthen neighborhood spirit and police community relations.
Plan now to join in the fun, meet your neighbors, and improve the safety of our community!
