LAS TIERRAS NEIGHBORHOOD ASSOCIATION - MISSION

To develop a community identity; To promote its quality of life, namely the health, safety and welfare of our neighborhoods; and to participate in the political process as it pertains to our community in the city and county of El Paso, TX. by providing a conduit for clear communication between our community and our political leaders.

This and That from Colleen

I was so glad to see several of our neighborhoods participate in the National Night Out. Charlene and I attended several and met some really great people and enjoyed visiting with them. Hope to see them all at the next Association Meeting.

Block parties are a great way to meet your neighbors and enjoy the time visiting and getting to know each other. Not only does this foster good will and friendships within the neighborhood but neighbors who know each other watch out for each other too. This helps to prevent crimes and makes the neighborhood a safer place to live.... and once you get to know each other set up a Neighborhood Watch. Check the website to find out who to call to help you set this up. It's well worth the time and effort to keep your neighborhood safe and a great place to live.

You don't have to wait for a once-a-year National Night Out to have block parties and get to know your neighbors. Take the initiative, set up a block party and have fun!

Sincerely,

Colleen

Neighborhood Watch Tip

Put your car keys beside your bed at night. If you hear a noise outside your home or someone trying to get in your house, just press the panic button for your car. The alarm will be set off, and the horn will continue to sound until either you turn it off or the car battery dies. This tip came from a neighborhood watch coordinator.
