 Dear Akron Neighbors,Memorial Day weekend means the beginning of summer for most of us. More importantly, Memorial Day is when we honor and remember those who have served our country in uniform. This year, I hope you will join me in another tradition---one we started in 2007---NEIGHBORS DAY. It’s an idea that I saw working in Europe where - during the last week of May - residents throughout England, France, Germany, and other countries host NEIGHBORS DAY, bringing them closer together and promoting peaceful living. We are constantly reminded how small our world is. Television pictures fly around the globe instantly. We can know more about what’s happening thousands of miles away than we know about what occurs on our own street. NEIGHBORS DAY will help all of us create a real sense of community and make our neighborhoods safer. I hope you will join us. DONALD L. PLUSQUELLIC Neighbors Day Akron is a simple concept. Know your neighbors, and safer neighborhoods will follow. Akron residents are being asked to take a few hours on Saturday, May 26 to be a part of Neighbors Day Akron. Our theme is "Living Together Better." Neighbors Day is helping us create a safer, more closely knit community, and a healthier environment for children to live and learn. To be a part of the 6th Annual Neighbors Day Akron celebration, Call, 3-1-1 or (330) 375-2311, the City of Akron’s Information Center, to find out where to pick up your Neighbors Day kit or visit our special website at: NeighborsDayAkron.org. The kit is designed to help you get started and will provide you with useful tips on how to make your Neighbors Day Akron event both successful and safe.
