On Nov. 17th we had our first annual Carter Street Thanksgiving Block Party! It was a real hit. Everyone brought a dish to share and we provided the turkey which were donated to us for the occasion by a local church partner. We were really excited to have this event because it not only served to bring the immediate effect of gathering the street together to celebrate and give thanks, it also served as a kick off event in our efforts to bring a greater sense of community to our street and to begin organizing a neighborhood action committee or block club. We had over half of the residents of our street show up and all were very excited about the time and thought it was great. Many expressed the desire to see it happen more regularly which opened the door for us to talk about organizing together and moving forward as a street. The pics are just a few of the 65 people who joined in for the meal, music and fun.
