Perhaps you could give your neighbors a nice basket of fruit, some homemade goodies, or a single rose – plus a thank you note fornyour their help through the years.

nRemember,nneighbors can be more helpful than even friends and family, in somensituations. If you need an egg and realize you’re out halfway throughna batch of brownies, sure your aunt would gladly give you an egg –nbut you can’t travel most of the way across the city for one egg! Ifnyou are going on a trip, your best friend might be willing to feednyour cat and water your houseplants, but he can’t easily do that ifnhe lives two cities away. In an emergency, it’s much better to havena neighbor with an extra key to blow out the candle you left burningnthan to rely on someone much farther away.

n

n
n
nSo,nbe friendly to your neighbors! Introduce yourself, offer to babysitnor petsit, mention that you’re handy at fixing things and give outnyour phone number for “any time!” If you need a strong pair ofnhands to unload a new purchase or someone to collect your mail whilenyou are gone, ask a neighbor – politely, of course – and remembernthat accepting help is as valuable to building relationships asnoffering help.

| Some neighborhoods have block parties. This neighborhood blocked off the streets from car travel so that the kids could have an instant playground! |

| If you notice that a neighbor is sick or injured, you could offer to walk their dog. |

nBynthe way, some sources on the web state that National Good NeighbornDay is the fourth Sunday in September, but other sources say it isnalways on September 28. I found a few sources that states that itnused to be the fourth Sunday of September, but in 2003 it was changednto September 28. That explains it!
