These neighborhood gatherings are such a great way for us to stay connected with our neighbors and build strong neighborhoods.  These connections result in safer communities and more resilient communities. They also better prepare us for emergencies such as ice storms, power outages, fires and earthquakes.

Please stop by the nearest party and meet new friends. Maybe even get your face painted – it’s never too late!
