Bridging The Tracks
Hello neighbor how are you?!
Last December 2015 with the support of Neighborhood Connections, Edwin’s and Yours Truly restaurants neighbors from Buckeye, Shaker, Larchmere and Woodland Hills calling themselves Bridging The Tracks (BTT) held the first annual community caroling.
Would you consider joining neighbors and community leaders in the 2nd annual Shaker/Buckeye/Woodland Hills/ Larchmere neighborhood caroling? Gather with us to have a bite to eat briefly get acquainted and discuss this year’s event:
Wednesday, October 26 at
12736 Larchmere Blvd, Cleveland, OH 44120
(216) 231-9400
Feel free to call me also, (305) 741-3786
RSVP to LeftThumbprint@gmail.com or Left Thumbprint Solutions (305) 741-3786
We would love for you to join us this year in caroling and see what else we are doing, what gifts you would consider offering in this endeavor and what ideas you have.
We also “caroled” December 30th the fifth day of Kwanzaa- Nia, (which means purpose) singing other popular uplifting songs in place of Christmas Carols.
Neighbors from other communities carolled with us in upper Buckeye and around Shaker Square.
Also over the last couple of years we BTT neighbors have worked in our community with Neighborhood Connections muraling and creating poetry together.
Tradition around social activities help communities bond and grow and draw attention to community strengths. Here neighbors are continuing being good neighbor, getting to know one another and encouraging their neighbors to join in. Getting to know one another and forming relationships leads to higher incomes through neighborhood networks, makes neighborhoods safer (ask any neighborhood watch expert) and more fun to live in.
According to Dr. Mindy Fullilove, Columbia University Mailman school of Public Health part of healthy communities comes from communities connecting with other surrounding communities.
Give us a call at Left Thumbprint Solutions (305) 741-3786 or email Leftthumbprint@gmail.com (with CAROLING please) in the subject line.
