Operation Neighborhood Take Back

At a mere 38°F Westview neighbors braved the weather to do door-to-door canvassing for “Operation Neighborhood Take Back” on Saturday, December 5th.

National Night Out Photos

The Westview Community Organization participated in the National Night Out on August 5th, 2008. The purpose of the nationwide event is to get neighbors out and mingle and get information about public safety. The WCO sponsored hot dogs and refreshments and passed out information ranging from fire detectors, to important phone numbers, to security video cameras. Zone 4 Police Lieutenant Deborah Cox, District 4 Councilwoman Cleta Winslow, and NPU-T Chair Kwabena Nkromo were some of the public figures that stopped by to show their support.
