TTN SANTA FE CHAPTER LAUNCHES
THE GOOD NEIGHBORS PROGRAM!
|
|
Good Neighbors (GN) is a community of women within our chapter that connects those needing a little help with those ready to provide it. In need of a ride to the doctor? Help hanging art? Or just simply a welcoming ear? GN facilitates these helping connections.
TTN members may register for our first Good Neighbors Orientation which will be held virtually on Tuesday, June 8 from 6–8 PM. This Orientation will provide greater detail on how the program works.
We look forward to creating a wonderful neighborhood together!

WHAT DOES IT MEAN
TO BE A GOOD NEIGHBOR?
|
|
“A good neighbor is someone you can trust and feel comfortable asking for some assistance or support. Or the neighbor offers it on their own without you even asking.” —Jean Palmer
“Being a good neighbor is a great way to build community; I like being a support to people around me, knowing that I'm making lives easier, even if just in a small way. I enjoy being the kind of person my neighbors can count on if they need help or companionship." —Karen Long
“To me, being a Good Neighbor means being side-by-side with other people through thick and through thin, truly being someone who can be counted on.”—Shari Carroll
"A good neighbor is there for you.” —Ellen Wetzel
“To me, being good neighbors means treating each other with kindness and an appreciation of our shared humanity. Being helpful but not intrusive. Being thoughtful but not overbearing. Being willing to ask for help as well offer it. Ideally, good neighbors can ease the burden for one another and, in so doing, brighten each other's spirits.” —Portia Blackman
“To me being a good neighbor is to be able to help someone with any unexpected need, whether it is to lend an egg, or give someone a ride when their car won't start or even just be a friend.” —Elena de Molina
