Neighborhood groups combine their efforts for the common good. Neighborhoods develop links of communication between themselves, creating an awareness of events, successes and accomplishments throughout the city. Any city neighborhood organization can become a member. No dues are charged to CCN member organizations. Each organization, regardless of size, has one vote of equal weight.
Neighborhoods define their own boundaries.
Some are as small as a few blocks while others cover several miles. CCN functions are accomplished through the cooperation and volunteer efforts of dedicated neighborhood people who give their time and energy because they want their neighborhood to be a better place to live and raise a family. Satisfaction from participating and contributing is their only payment. It's a simple concept which identifies the benefits of teamwork, demonstrates common goals being achieved, and reinforces the need for clear direction. The challenge is for everyone to line up and pull the wagon in concert, understanding that the future success of the Columbia Council of Neighborhoods lies with each of us working together.
