General Tips
| • | Go out of your way to meet and greet your neighbors |
| • | Once in a while, leave messages (with chalk on sidewalks or by handing notes on doors) saying how much you appreciate a certain neighbor. Do this for neighbors of all ages. |
| • | Be aware of graduations and other major events in the lives of children and acknowledge them. |
| • | Organize a neighborhood book swap for both children and adults. Ask neighbors to donate books they're already read and have everyone come to find new books. |
| • | Create a neighborhood walking club! It's good exercise and a great way to strengthen relationships with your neighbors. |
