La Marque schedules candlelight vigil, town hall and National Night Out in early October
Summary
City leaders announced a candlelight vigil for Domestic Violence Awareness Month on Oct. 2, a unified town hall on Oct. 4 at the Central Fire Station, and National Night Out on Oct. 7 at Mac McGaffey Highland Bayou Park; councilors said a facilitator for the town hall is being pursued.
Unidentified Speaker 2 announced three upcoming community events and urged residents to attend: a candlelight vigil in honor of National Domestic Violence Awareness Month on Thursday, Oct. 2 at 6 p.m. in council chambers; a unified town hall on Oct. 4 at the Central Fire Station (West Side Fire Station) with doors opening at 10 a.m. and the town hall running from 11 a.m. to 12:30 p.m.; and the city's National Night Out on Tuesday, Oct. 7 at Mac McGaffey Highland Bayou Park, 1991 Getty Road.
Unidentified Speaker 2 described the town hall as an opportunity for residents to 'interact with and question council members, city leadership, and community resources.' Unidentified Speaker 3 asked Miss Holly whether a facilitator had been confirmed; Miss Holly said she had not, and Speaker 3 offered to track down a facilitator's contact and said the facilitator could serve other council members' events as well.
The announcements include outreach intended to raise awareness about crime and drug prevention, strengthen community-police partnerships, and provide information about available community resources. The transcript records these as announcements and follow-up offers to secure a facilitator; no formal resolutions or funding decisions for the events are recorded in the provided segments.
