A previous posting was made to this website on August 22 about the National Night Out October 2nd. This posting is a reminder that the deadline for registration with the Austin Police Department (for their support) is Friday, September 14, and to provide additional information:
Please consider scheduling a National Night Out party for your neighbors on Tuesday, Oct. 2nd. It’s a great chance to get your neighbors together to strengthen neighborhood spirit, generate support and participation in crime prevention efforts, and send a message to criminals that our neighborhood is organized and watching out for each other.
Registration deadline is September 14. You can get an application form online at www.austintexas.gov/police. (Scroll down to “National Night Out, Application.”) Submitting an application asap will get your party in the queue for possible visits by the Police Dept. Fire Dept., EMS, and Code Compliance. You may also call 974-4900, and leave a message for Rosie Salinas who coordinates the NNO program for the Police Dept. About a week or so before Oct. 2nd you should receive notification that you can pick up an NNO packet that has information about crime prevention, code compliance, etc and a sample invitation you can give to your neighbors so they know about your party.
You may also call Sherran Williams, NSCNA board member, at 925-7490. She can deliver to you a sample invitation and a copy of the application form. If you let Sherran know you are having a party, she can also coordinate with Randolph Brooks Credit Union to get you bottles of water for the number of people you are expecting at your party. RBFCU has supported our neighborhood in the National Night Out efforts for several years.
