2020 National Night Out – "One Night to Stand Together"

Posted on October 02, 2020 | 2 min read

National Night Out (NNO), a community to first responder awareness raising event, is scheduled to fall on Tuesday, October 6,2020. This year, Westlake MUD No. 1 brings you National Night Out (NNO) in a unique and health-conscious way. This page is your resource for information on the fire and police representatives that serve your neighborhood, as well as relevant safety education. NNO is meant to enhance the relationship between neighbors and first responders within the community.

Former United States Senator Kay Bailey Hutchison, a native Texan, has been quoted saying, "The best way to build a safer community is to know your neighbors and your surroundings. National Night Out triumphs over a culture that isolates us from each other and allows us to rediscover our own communities." In times like these, this statement still rings true. A sense of community is invaluable under the current circumstances.

NNO was initially introduced in August of 1984 through a network of law enforcement agencies and neighborhood watch groups, among other volunteer alliances. That year, 2.5 million neighbors throughout 400 communities in 23 states gathered to celebrate balance and solidarity between law enforcement and the community. In the State of Texas, there are 548 cities that participate in NNO, including the Greater Houston Area and many bordering suburbs.

To honor NNO, Westlake MUD has provided a way for residents of this community to participate in a safe way. During the week of October 5th – October 10th, residents can stop by the Westlake Volunteer Fire Station between the hours of 9 a.m. – 3 p.m. (M-Th), from 9 a.m. – 9 p.m. Friday, and from 9 a.m. – 5 p.m. on Saturday, and pick up a gift bag containing a coupon for free CiCi’s pizza, swag, educational handouts, and more!
