Meet Your Neighbor
The greatest contribution you, as an individual, can make in your community is to make yourself available in support of your neighbors. Utilizing your unique skills and enthusiasm for the betterment of your neighborhood is a rewarding experience. The first step in getting involved in your neighborhood is to get to know your neighbors.

Create an Emergency Contact List
Make a commitment to meet at least 5 neighbors and write down their contact information.  Aside from the fact that your neighbors are part of your community, they can also be a safety net if you ever need something.  By getting to know your neighbors, a lot of valuable information can be learned.
