"It's a Beautiful Day in the Neighborhood"

"It's a Beautiful Day in the Neighborhood":
~ Safety Walk and Social ~

and we'd like YOU to be a part of it!

Here are the details:
When: Friday, Feb. 25th, 4-7pm
Locations:
Woody's Cafe (Pre- and Post- "Safety Walk")
Lakeshore @ Wesley Avenue (on the Lake side)
Corner of E 18th and Park Blvd
Corner of E 18th and 14th Ave.*
Corner of Park Blvd. & MacArthur Blvd (by H.S.)*
*(Please note - there is some flexibility regarding these locations and we are open to other areas if we have enough people to support it).


The Concept:

We will form at least four "Pods" that will be "stationed" at the different locations in order to pass on community support and information on how folks can be safe, have the info and numbers they need and what support is available to them in the community .


At 4pm: At least one or two people from each pod would head to Woody's Cafe on Park Blvd. at to gather up an assortment of whistles, safety brochures, Lake Neighbors Postcards and other items to be handed out, and bring them to their Pod Locations.


From ~4:30-~5:30: the pods will hang out at and walk around the designated locations handing out the whistles, Safety Brochures and other information and engaging in conversation with our fellow neighbors to create a positive, safe presence.


~5:30/6pm: everyone is welcome to celebrate a Job Well Done and head to Woody's for a social hour with hot chocolate and treats, hosted by Woody's and the Lake Neighbors!


Where you come in: We'd love it if you would:
Sign up to volunteer with us and be a part of one of the PODs for this event.
Encourage your friends and neighbors to sign up by passing this e-mail on to them!
Spread the word to any local meetings or businesses that you are a part of and help make this event a success!

Next Step:
Please respond to this email by Tues., Feb. 8th to let us know if you would like to volunteer
Pass on the names and e-mails of others you have lobbied for who will be joining us on the 25th.
If you have a location that you would prefer over those listed above, let us know that too.

Once we've received your responses, we'll send out an official event announcement email for you to forward to everyone on your neighborhood group lists so people will know what's happening when they see our "Pods" around the neighborhood! We're looking forward to spending time with you making it a "Beautiful Day in Our Neighborhood!" Feel free to email with any questions.
