Upcoming Neighborhood Events
Hi Neighbors,
There are two neighborhood events that we want to make sure you know about. First up is our Carefest Project on Saturday, Oct. 12.
For the second year, the Allendale Neighborhood Association is partnering with with the Allendale Methodist Church to further clean up, beautify, and enhance the church grounds which anchor our neighborhood.
Carefest is an annual city-sponsored service project - an opportunity to help neighbors, build camaraderie, foster goodwill, and give back to the community.
One of the exciting aspects of year's event is the creation of a community garden. This garden will be open to all. We hope to have more details before the event.

Last year’s project was a huge success and very rewarding for all participants. Please plan on joining us on the morning of the 12th. The church is a good neighbor and needs our help.
