Fun At Holloween

I had the pleasure of being invited to a Halloween Block Party in 6A02. It was great! They actually played Thriller! Do you remember Thriller?

Well, ghouls and goblins were dancing in the streets!



Of course, I only had my phone camera...but you get the idea, right?! :)

These are the things that restore a sense of community. When neighbors get together and simply enjoy themselves, it builds rapport that allows for collective problem solving. When you know your neighbors, you are more inclined to be concerned for their well-being. When you know your neighbors, you are more inclined to look out for them and their property.

This event was a refreshing change. Well-organized, mutually agreed events can serve to tighten the chords the bind a community together. Let's do that for our entire neighborhood!

On Tuesday - Novemeber 4th - VOTE for CHANGE!

Tell your friends and neighbors to elect Jabriel S. Ballentine (#2) for ANC 6A02

Oh - and you have to see this. My oldest son decided to draw on his pumpkin, rather than carve it (note the eyelashes!):
