From the Laurelhurst Letter, Dec '06/ Jan '07"

Celebrate Neighbors!!

The holidays are a time when many of us reflect back on the year and feel appreciation for neighbors who do the little things that make Laurelhurst such a special place to live. Do you have a great neighbor who deserves a special thank you? Nominate them for a Good Neighbor Award!

The Laurelhurst Community Club will host a special event to honor those nominated on Saturday, February 10, from 10 a.m. to noon at a location to be announced. A city official will preside over a ceremony to recognize these special people, each of whom will receive a Good Neighbor Certificate of Appreciation.

The Laurelhurst Community Club’s event to celebrate neighbors follows a ten-years tradition. Past recipients have done things such as bring in mail when you’re away on vacation, bring dinner when your family needs support, take care of your kids in an emergency, and host neighborhood gatherings to welcome newcomers. Or, maybe they are just always there for you and your family.

Please take a minute to write a short note about the person/family that has done something for you, and include examples of their acts of thoughtfulness as well as their full name(s) and address.

Please send your nominations to LCC special events coordinator Coco Sherman at 4113 55th Ave. NE, Seattle, WA  98105, or e-mail cocosherman@comcast.net. Questions? Call Coco at 525-9850.

Deadline to submit nominations is Friday, February 2, 2007.
