Building Good Neighborhoods


As we are heading into the holiday seasons I would like to suggest a possible neighborhood project.  This is not just for the blocks who have organized block clubs but for everyone! 

Just as the blog entry submitted by Store to Door would help home bound people; I would like to see neighbors also start on their own block or area.  Do you know of someone who could use a little help? Maybe they are having a hard time making ends meet financially, recovering from an illness, or not able to leave their home for other reasons.  Consider joining together to help these neighbors out.  It could be by providing a bag of groceries or holiday meal, helping to rake and collect leaves before the snow falls, or offering to keep their sidewalks free of snow and ice. 

Being a good neighbor helps everyone and promotes, GOOD NEIGHBORHOODS!
