Happy Summer! Community ideas
ОглавлениеWe’ve been building Community Involvement and Healthy Minds since 2010. Happy Summer! Community Ideas:
1 Neighbourhood Loot Bags This past week, I made loot bags filled with chocolates for all our neighbours. We are all new, since our area has just been built. I added a message with our name and phone number so people can reach us, and many people are keen to have a street barbeque. Reaching out to our neighbours builds strong communities. If the kids are bored this summer, this is something the whole family can do together.
2 Senior Serenade Make an appointment at your local seniors’ home for a short visit. Then give everyone a red carnation (they are less expensive than roses) and just wish them Happy Summer. Take the kids along, last year our local seniors loved my young son’s smile as he helped distribute flowers. If you or someone in you group can play a musical instrument, even better. But do make an appointment first.
3 Love your Library Here in Canada we are blessed to have fantastic libraries in our communities. Show your appreciation to your local branch by writing a hand written card to say thanks for all they do. The kids can decorate the card and help deliver it.
