Neighborhood Day

Yesterday we held our 5th annual Neighborhood Day here at the Mid Town Family Resource Center, the Parkersburg site of CHS. The weather was beautiful (a bit hot, but a cool start to the day, anyway!) We had great volunteer help from many good supporters. The families seemed to have a great time. We provided a good opportunity for families to feel supported and given access to resources. We began these events to tie into a national recognition of the importance of neighborhoods, that we found out was annually held on the 3rd weekend of September. We have pretty much kept to a similar format, but have received new support each year from different church and community sponsors. Homeland Community Church and St. Andrews United Methodist were the particularly strong supporters this year. Many community businesses give donations. The NJROTC students from PHS under the Leadership of Glen Rickart, were once again, the primary volunteers, and do a great job. We'll see if some pictures emerge from various folks involved yesterday.
