Neighborhood Committees
Have you ever stopped to think about your neighborhood? You probably have at one time or another. More than likely it was to observe something in particular that bothered you or pleased you. Hardly anyone stops to think about the word “neighborhood” and how important it meaning is to the families who live there, or to the total community that is really a collection of neighborhoods.
Like all neighborhoods yours is different than others. Each neighborhood has its own concerns; many have problems. The one thing that every neighborhood has in common is that each is a small community with very real, invisible, boundaries. Within these boundaries people lead their daily lives; families of all kinds function and children grow up.
We would like you to be involved.
