Welcome Good Neighbor! National Night Out

Great neighborhoods are the cornerstones of a livable city. Boise is fortunate to have a thriving network of active neighborhoods in all parts of the city. To celebrate and support Boise’s neighborhoods, the City is proud to announce a series of programs to strengthen the ties between Boise residents, to establish new connections within our community and to honor residents who set an example of how good neighbors can improve and enhance our community.

The program begins with National Night Out on Tuesday, August 2, and culminates with National Good Neighbor Day, which will be celebrated in Boise at the Main Library on Wednesday, September 28. In between will be multiple Neighborhood Block Parties, a Neighborhood Summit and other ways to celebrate the neighborhood bonds we share.

Good neighbors are those who have gone out of their way to help those around them. If you know someone who deserves to be recognized as a Good Neighbor, nominate him or her for a Good Neighbor Award by September 11, 2011. Mayor David H. Bieter will honor nominees at the National Good Neighbor Day event on September 28. For more information or to get the nomination form, go to : Good Neighbor Nomination
