Neighbor Helping Neighbor, Block by Block!
“In a disaster, your most immediate sources of help are the neighbors living around you.” (MYN)
Our yearly Disaster Drill will be held on Sunday October 18, with block activities running from 2pm – 4pm followed by a debrief at 5 Points with pizza. We have conducted Map Your Neighborhood training in more than 25 MYN Blocks to promote “neighbor helping neighbor” response in a widespread disaster.
Knowing your neighbors makes for a happier, safer neighborhood. Our preparedness program, Map Your Neighborhood, is based on knowing your neighbors, knowing who needs extra help and what collective resources your block has available. Find out more about the Drill. Find out more about MYN.
This year’s Potluck in the Park was Saturday, June 6, 2026 and was the best yet!
Thanks to all who participated in our annual Potluck in the Park! Good food, good music, good times! Lots of kids and well behaved dogs.
We had a very successful silent auction, thanks to Sarah, all our fabulous neighbor-donors and our fabulous neighbor bidders!
Thank you Paul for organizing the wonderful music with the “Potluck Band” of Paul, Larry, Dan, Mattio and Breanne. Really wonderful!
Thanks to everyone on our Board of Directors who worked hard to put this together, and all the fantastic volunteers who made it go off without a hitch.
If you missed it, there’s always next year!
