The residents of LaDeara Crest, a name derived from the Spanish word ladera, or mountainside, began the New Year together by convening their first Neighbor Nite on Thursday, Jan. 15 (the actual birthday of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.) from 6 – 8 p.m. at the community resource center. The event, which included dinner and a discussion of community initiatives, was co-sponsored by Neighbors for Better Neighborhoods (NBN) and the United Way of Forsyth County.
Neighbor Nites, an NBN creation that currently operates in multiple Winston-Salem locations, are where residents connect to discuss and share resources in their own neighborhoods and where they plan projects that directly benefit their families. NBN, a local organization that partners with neighborhood groups, supports and enhances resident-led activities by providing organizing assistance, technical support, and funding as needed.
LaDeara’s next Neighbor Nite is planned for Thursday, Feb. 19 from 6-8 p.m. at the community resource center. All residents are invited to attend.
Contact NBN at 336-602-2519 or arue@nbncommunity.org for more information.
