Hey folks.
This week's organization is:
The Center for Neighborhoods builds healthy, sustainable, safe neighborhoods through informed and committed neighbors in Louisville, Kentucky. It achieves that goal through community engagement, education, planning, and data assessment for many different neighborhoods throughout the city.
Since its founding in 1972, the Center for Neighborhoods has cultivated grassroots leadership, partnered with neighborhoods in community planning efforts, facilitated civic dialogue, and actively participated in neighborhood-based development & improvement projects.
In addition to my donation, here's a song called 'The Sunny Side of the Street' that some of you may know. It's a song that reminds me that, as easy as it is sometimes to fall into despair, there is always hope.
We must reach out to each other, and not only through these computers we use every day,
We must reach out to each other, and not only through these computers we use every day,
but in person face-to-face.
We may travel across town or across the world and think we don't have much in common with the people we encounter. But we do! This is all one neighborhood, wherever we are. We must find new ways to bring ourselves closer together in order to understand and empathize with one another to create a better
world for everyone.
world for everyone.
The Center for Neighborhoods seeks to do just that through the work they do everyday. I hope you join me in supporting them!
THE SUNNY SIDE OF THE STREET
GRAB YOUR COAT AND GRAB YOUR HAT
LEAVE YOUR WORRIES ON THE DOORSTEP
JUST DIRECT YOUR FEET
TO THE SUNNY SIDE OF THE STREET
CAN'T YOU HEAR THAT PITTER PAT
WHEN THAT HAPPY TUNE IS YOUR STEP?
LIFE CAN BE SO SWEET
ON THE SUNNY SIDE OF THE STREET
I USED TO WALK IN THE SHADE
WITH MY BLUES ON PARADE
BUT NOW I'M NOT AFRAID
MY ROVER'S CROSSED OVER
IF I NEVER HAD A CENT
I'D BE RICH AS ROCKEFELLER
WITH GOLD DUST AT MY FEET
ON THE SUNNY SIDE OF THE STREET
