My community is Alpena MI, it's on lake huron usually it's very cold. I am going to make my community Alpena beloved by creating a new yearly tradition. That tradition will be a winter bonfire at a Bayview park. This new tradition will unite the community through food, sharing, and togetherness. My bonfire will start small at first but grow over the years this is my plan for the future of the bonfire. But to start i would not be well funded and not be very big maybe like 30 or 40 people.
Everyone that comes would bring their signature dish mac and cheese, casseroles, milkshakes and hot cocoa. But the pot luck aspect of the bonfire would eventually fade away as the bonfire got bigger but It would be replaced by catered food or hot dogs. The bonfire will also have events for little kids, teens, and adults.These events would include a snowball gladiator mega super brawl

To extend the seasonality span of charcoal business, on which KC success is based on, the company would need to organize campaigns with emphasis on family values, friendship, free time spending and most importantly stimulate early spring and late fall open-door barbecue events, like concerts, sports events and other leisure activities both in local neighborhood and in other states. Compared to previous years, such outdoors events are becoming more and more popular and they have a tendency to grow.
“Burning Man”, is an event many people have heard of, but have no clue of what its purpose is. The setting is northern Nevada, where thousands of people gather around to express themselves. There are no set ground rules at the event, it’s up to the participants for how the environment feels. The ten principles of “Burning Man” are: radical inclusion, gifting, decommodification, radical self reliance, radical self expression, communal effort, civic responsibility, leaving no trace, participation, and immediacy. The two principles that stand out to me are gifting and leaving no trace. Gifting technically does not mean buying an object and giving it to another person. The term “gifting” used at “Burning Man” refers to sharing an experience, one
The Magnificent Mile Light Festival, which happens before the Thanksgiving weekend in downtown Chicago along Michigan Avenue, is a great way for the family to kick off the holiday season. For the past fifty years, the trees have been decorated with lights along North Michigan Avenue to signal the start of the Holiday Season. Every year, the celebration gets bigger and bigger and now it has become a televised event. There are celebrities, a tree-lighting parade, live music concerts, a holiday wonderlan...

Not only do these events inspire residents and visitors alike to give more, they infuse those participating with reasons to continue giving all throughout the rest of year as well. Below are several of our choices for best
McAllen was named America’s most multilingual city in 2009 and the festival would highlight the many languages and cultures of the city to unite the citizens as one large community. The festival would incorporate good health habits, dancing, music, hearty potluck dishes, and celebrations of multiple heritages and cultures. This would promote good health and could potentially become an annual event that continues for generations. As my legacy, I hope to leave a lasting impact on the community that gives it a sense of newfound hope for the
Each year, thousands of individuals from all over the world within the fire service flock to the Brayton Fire Training Field for the Annual Texas Fire Training Schools held in July. On the Sunday before each school, the annual vendor show is held to coincide with student registration. These vendors are given the chance to sell, demonstrate, and promote their brand and products to local and international firefighters. The Marketing Office spends several months coordinating and preparing for these shows.
Another activity I would like to partake in is a family recipe exchange. We should strive to cook one of these unique cultural dishes once a month for the entire community to come together to eat and talk.
The residents of Winterville are proud of their community, and they take every opportunity to strengthen their bonds. Annual festivals in the area include the Watermelon Festival, Senior Day, and Family Day.
Because of some of the circumstances that make me who I am, it is hard to say I have any one definitive home. Instead, I have had two true homes, ever since I was a young child. What makes this even more of a conundrum is that my homes have always had little in common, even though they are only a few hundred miles apart. Between the big city of Houston, Texas, and the small town of Burns Flat, Oklahoma, I have grown up in two very different towns that relate to one another only in the sense that they have both raised me.
It 's a nice day in July, the third, the day before all of the excitement. Families are out and about standing in lines wrapped around the store buying kerosene for their grills. Of course you can’t forget the Hotdogs, hamburgers, buns, jello, cake, icecream and popsicles. Any kind of food you could ever want and most in the color red white or blue. People are flocking to the firework stands to buy as many of the biggest and baddest fire works they have to offer. Kids spending there allowance on rockets, snakes, poppers, parachutes, and smoke bombs. Fourth of July is almost in full swing just a few more things before the big party. While all of these people are running around like ants in a frenzy swarming to the melted ice cream cone on the hot pavement. My aunt, uncle, and cousins are at their house preparing for the big party an annual fourth of july
As an African American woman, I have lived and worked in underserved communities and have experienced personally, the social and economic injustices grieved by underserved communities and the working poor. All of which, has increased my desires to work with such populations. A reserved person by nature, I have exposed an inner voice that I was oblivious to. I have expressed my inner voice to those living in underserved communities, who are seeking social and economic stability. I have come to classify and value the strength I have developed by the need, to survive in an underserved community. I use these as my continuous struggle against the social and economic injustices that I have experienced, as a product of an underserved community and as an African American woman. I have continued my struggle to overcome the barriers from my upbringing in an underserved community.
Christmas at home, I know that all I will have to do is listen to the old familiar notes of “Holy Jolly Christmas” to feel right at home.
Commitment to community is a requirement for contemporary Americans and vital to its survival. “Love thy neighbor as thyself” is the unselfish act of sharing: from a cup of sugar to a wealth of information to the guardianship of all children involved and the protection of every individual in that said community. Whether that community consists of the “Classic Neighborhood, those with a common set of goals, or those who share a common identity” the thread that holds this matrix together is always woven into the shared identity as well as responsibility of all involved. (Redmond, 2010). A community cannot continue to exist through the will of withdrawn individuals who arms only embrace themselves and have no involvement whatsoever with neighbors one door away.
