What is this Committee about, and how can I help?

The mission statement of the “Crieve Hall Cares” Committee is this:

The Crieve Hall Cares Committee exists to connect the residents of Crieve Hall; to build bridges between all ages with the common theme of benevolence; and to give back to the community in ways that truly make our residents feel honored and loved.

Because of the Tour of Homes, we've got a great nest egg to get started with this committee. As we’ve looked at the social committee and the ebb of newcomers to our group, we’ve decided that merging the Crieve Hall Neighborhood Association social committee into the CHC Committee would be a good fit. We want to re-present this to our community and focus on our “social” aspect being that of helping out our neighbors by reaching beyond our front doors and getting to know each other!

Some goals that we’ve discussed at this point are to create a “neighbors helping neighbors” group where people can request help/assistance for themselves or a neighbor, an “adopt a grandparent” program for young families to connect with our elderly neighbors, and neighborhood watch block parties, where you get to know the people living on your own street.

We’d love to have social events throughout the year, and feel that by reorganizing our efforts by smaller ways to connect through offering a helping hand, we in turn will be able to form a larger social group as a whole—because hey, where your friends/neighbors go, you want to go, too!

This is where we need you. Brooke Vigerust (formerly co-chair of the CHNA Social Committee) and I are going to co-chair this new Crieve Hall Cares group, and we want your help. If you are interested in getting involved--volunteering, helping with whatever is your specialty, or just getting involved to stay connected, please email me at Ashley@48Days.com. I'll build an email list of those that want to be "in the know"--and we'll plan events, connect people with others that may lend a helping hand, and generally help to form and grow the Crieve Hall Cares Committee (CHCC). Please let us know how you'd like to be involved!

Your next opportunity to connect with the community is August 4th at the National Night Out Against Crime. We'll have a table set up there to sign up for the CHCC and we'd love to see everyone there!

We will also have a representative from ADS to fingerprint children. The representative provides a free kit to the family - conducting the fingerprinting to make sure it is completed correctly, then the fingerprint card and the kit are given to the parents for safe keeping. No information about the child is retained. If you have not yet done this, it would be a great opportunity.
