Sunday, September 17, Decatur neighborhoods are encouraged to participate in National Neighborhood Day. This annual event, celebrated in neighborhoods across to country on the third Sunday in September, is an effort to bring neighbors together and reinforce the importance of relationships. No matter how big or small your neighborhood is, it is time to celebrate our neighborhoods and all or our neighbors. A neighborhood is more than houses – your neighborhood can be an apartment complex, condominiums, or townhomes.
Activities can be as simple as a neighborhood walking tour to a book or recipe exchange to flying kites. Need a creative boost? Visit the Neighborhood Day website for ideas.
National Neighborhood Day is a great time to get together with long time neighbors and get to know new neighbors. Be sure to include your older neighbors in your plans too! Get with your neighbors to come up with your own unique idea and finalize your plans.
Decatur’s Lifelong Community Advisory Board would love to hear from you about your neighborhood’s plans. Make sure to take lots of pictures! Contact Lee Ann Harvey at leeann.harvey@decaturga.com or 678-553-6548 to share your ideas.
