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!”
