new neighbor WELCOME bag
 

To request an FCA "Welcome to the Neighborhood" welcome bag for a new neighbor, contact Ann Dunbar dunbar@zipcon.net or any FCA Board member.  Pick up the bag to deliver yourself or ask that an FCA volunteer make the delivery.

 
Do you have a new neighbor on your block? Do you regularly pass someone you don’t know while walking the dog? When you stop by the bakery, are you surprised by how many faces you don’t recognize? Have you thought of saying hello-but then what?

The Fauntleroy Community Association’s “Welcome to the Neighbor” gift bag can help you introduce the neighborhood after you have introduced yourself. The contents welcome new arrivals, whether from out of state or across town, with carefully chosen information, plus a couple of local goodies. The bags are part of FCA’s outreach to inform and invite new members.

In addition to selected publications and maps about Fauntleroy, West Seattle and the city, the gift bag includes a homemade item, a recent FCA newsletter, and gifts from local businesses. Ann Dunbar will deliver the bag to your home for you to bring to your neighbor.

We are judged by the things we care for, the old adage says, such as family, friends, neighbors, community, and the environment. For more than 20 years and in a variety of ways, FCA has been caring for this marvelous place that most of us call home.

The gift bag is yet another way for this neighborhood to say, “We care that you’re here. Welcome!”
