For the last few months, I’ve been so busy with work that I kind of disengaged with the neighborhood issues, and it felt great to participate in the “officer’s meeting” of my neighborhood association tonight.
I will be working on a project to re-engage with the neighborhood on a grassroots level, by having each block captain go door to door to reintroduce themselves and gather information about residents (names, emails, etc). I have the neighborhood resident listing as it’s currently recorded, and I’d liket to create a worksheet for each block captain to fill in/confirm/correct the information for each address.
Overall, it’s really rewarding to be part of neighborhood discussions. To know what is being planned by developers, the city, what the issues are, and most importantly who the people are who live here.
