Include everyone that resides or owns property in your area as a potential member of the association. Identify a regular meeting time and place. To register your neighborhood association or report a change in officers, call the Mayor's Office For Neighborhoods at 596-1292 . The City of Tulsa offers connections to the community through a newsletter, News Around the Neighborhoods , to update associations on upcoming events and current issues. There is no better way of getting together and meeting your neighbors than having a block party.
Neighborhoods are better and safer places to live when there is a sense of caring in the area.
This closeness can develop at a neighborhood block party. Block parties have varied from a simple gathering of a few folks in a front yard sharing memories and beverages to elaborate highly organized events involving dozens of streets in a neighborhood. When planning, do not overlook all the resources in your area. Property owners, business owners and residents may all have an interest in block party plans because they all benefit from living and working in a healthy neighborhood. The Citizens Crime Commission along with a representative from the Tulsa Police Department will meet with your neighborhood and provide information on personal safety and property crime.
