Featured Story
National Good Neighbor Day Good neighbors make great neighborhoods and with many of us spending more time at home and in our communities, this is more relevant now than ever. In 1978 President Jimmy Carter issued a proclamation to celebrate National Good Neighbor day in September and this year it is being celebrated on Monday, September 28th. Even while social distancing, there are a lot of ways to be a good neighbor and celebrate those who live around us. Here are a few tips for being a good neighbor in 2020! •
Observe social distancing and mask requirements. Show your neighbors you respect them by taking their health to heart whenever you are out. We’re all in this together!
•
That being said, don’t be afraid to say hello and check on your neighbors when you see them out! A short friendly conversation might be just what your neighbor needs to perk up their day!
•
If you have a pet, make sure you are responsible about cleaning up after them. Nobody wants to step in a surprise on their morning walk!
•
Shop local. Local business owners are your neighbors too and by opting to buy from smaller neighborhood stores for items, you help them stay afloat (and help limit your impact on the environment too! It’s a win-win!)
•
Stay patient. A lot of things around us are changing on a daily basis and everyone in your neighborhood is likely handling things in a different way. By staying patient and keeping communication open we can help keep ourselves on good terms with our neighbors.
• Here at Lincoln, we are all grateful for the incredible military families who live with us and want to take a moment to thank you all for being incredible neighbors year-round!
