How to Build a Community

Turn off your TV

Leave your house and explore what is around you

Know your neighbors & greet people

Look up and smile when you are walking

Plant flowers for you and your neighbors

Use your library

Work and play together

Buy from local merchants

Share what you have

Honor elders

Fix it even if you didn’t break it

Support neighborhood schools

Read to children

Have potlucks

Help carry something heavy

Start a neighborhood tradition

Ask questions and then listen

Organize a block party

Become active in your community

Open your curtains and your heart

Share your skills and talents

Think hard before you take action

Mediate a conflict

Seek an understanding

Think out of the box

Keep the streets clean

Do unto others as you would have done unto you

Work for change then accept it

Give of yourself and your gifts

Random acts of kindness never hurt

Make a meal for your elderly neighbor

Trust you are making a difference!

Well Said!!! Thanks for sharing!!!
