National Good Neighbor Day

September 28, 2020
Let's Create an Epidemic of Kindness! Neighbors connecting with neighbors is an important part of PVE Neighborhood Watch. When we watch out for each other, we keep our neighborhoods safer.
During this extended time of staying at home, it’s been an extra challenge to get to know our neighbors face-to-face. But there are still opportunities to connect (see ideas in the photo and listed below). |

The "Good Neighbor" Pledge
I pledge to be the "good neighbor." With the goal of becoming a more connected and caring community, I will be a person who lives with kindness and concern for my neighbors.
I’ll take the first step by connecting with neighbors and introduce myself. I will practice the "good neighbor mindset" to make connections, invitations, stay aware and be available to my neighbors. Good neighbors make great neighborhoods.
