Mankato's 2010 annual Night to Unite event was a great success. It served to lay the groundwork to better address community issues and will ultimately help to make Mankato a safer place. City staff and C-Teams (communication teams) made up of personnel from all city departments visited 44 neighborhood events on Tuesday night, August 31 to deliver key messages on city services and to engage the community in dialog aimed at increasing community trust, building community partnerships and solving community problems. The number of events held throughout the city is a Mankato record.
