village," said Armitage. "The meaning of your life day-to-day is enriched" by neighbors, she said. Armitage also advocates the use of social media to communicate with neighbor. It's successful, she said. On Facebook, the Carolanne Farms - Arrowhead Neighbors page is rich with comments; 357 people are members. Neighborly posts include a missing-dog notification, an inquiry about a reliable auto mechanic, a yard-sale post and a warning that cars had been broken into and registrations, or a phone, stolen. "Honestly the most effective communication tool is Facebook or email," said Armitage, who recently used the Neighbors' page to find a tiller and a teenager to help her whip her flower beds back into shape. "In a community everybody has a set of skills that can be utilized," Armitage said. Armitage's passion carries over into her profession. During a recent sale of a house in Indian Lakes, she asked the neighbors selling their house to compile a list of four neighbors on either side, and eight across the street, plus other information, like which neighbor kids baby-sit, which mow lawns and other pertinent information for the buyers. It's all about making an effort, she said. But not every neighbor is cooperative.
