Coming Together

We have celebrated the 4th of July almost every year since the start of the Art Garage.  Even before the Community House was a thought in my mind, we had BBQ and sparklers with the kids on the 4th.  

Maybe it is because I am a patriot at heart, or maybe it is because we always had our own family reunion with Sue and Dad on the 4th, but I love this time to connect with friends and neighbors.  

School starts so early these days, and so this is a chance to have some fun before its back to the books.  We are linking it in with one of our four scheduled Neighborhood Association meetings.  I ordered signs for the Association, and asked a few folks to put them in their yard, and I created a page on this website for the Association to use.  

We also got shirts for the lawn crew, and so I will have the kids tie-dye them.  Perhaps this will inspire them to want to step up and help.  Fingers crossed.

I kindof like that the project has extended into something that could survive without having to run the full non-profit end of things.  This is a lot more than I could have anticipated.  I have had a crash course in learning everything I could need to know about these things, and yet, I still know so little.  

Nonetheless, I continue to walk by faith and allow the awareness of God's hand in my actions.
