Helping your Neighbor in Need |
Neighborhoods - Block Parties
Liaison - ??
This could be done as a group or as individuals. If you have several SG members in the host home neighborhood, get everyone together as a "get to know you" party. Or maybe host a Halloween block party for your neighbors. Having extra people in your small group but not from your neighborhood wouldn't be unusual. You can then hand out candy to kids as a group.
Examples:
Cook out with burgers, hot dogs or brats.
Ice cream social with neighbors.
Include Corn Hole or other outdoor games
Simple get-to-know-you event
·Halloween block party. Socialize and hand out candy as a group.
