I see new forms of community in Lake Forest Park. Night Out meetings. There were at least six meetings organized around the Block Watch program.
Neighbors meet with each other to make the neighborhood more secure.
The conversations went beyond this to how to raise children, where to get a good plumber and issues the City needs to look into. We also had Picnic in the Park, an annual event celebrating our community. It was sponsored by City government, the merchants at the Mall, and a number of nonprofit organizations. This year the Lake Forest Park Rotary hosted a pancake breakfast. There was entertainment for all ages such as bands, dancing, music, dog agility, storytelling and my favorite, the dancing pigs.
