The neighborhood gathering was organized on occasion of Halloween by 10/31. There were about 50 citizens coming to this event and certain activities well happened. Specifically, the residents raised their comments about neighborhood area issues such as speed bump, traffic light, and living environment, etc. There was the representative of Bowling Green City, Bruce Willsion and two firemen. After small talk, everyone enjoyed eating hot dogs, talking with each other, and children played around with given toys at the beginning of the event. This is a good occasion for the citizens to get familiar with each other, break the gap among those who never seen before.
As for us who work for community revitalization project, this event is a good kick-off for us to know these citizens as well as to capture an overview of the residential area and existing problems.
At the end of this event, every one left with the flowers as small gifts to remember this event. Hopefully, we can hold another such event in the future to create more opportunities for the residents to exchange their ideas frequently.
/Note: Thanks for Terry's efforts to have this interesting picnic done/
