Arkell Meadows
In similar fashion to other successful BBQ's I did the following:
1) took a look around the neighbourhood to determine where we might have the BBQ. This neighbourhood had a nice dead end on one of the main streets where we could all gather for our BBQ.
2) set up SignupGenius.com so people could indicate what they could bring
3) created a handout with the needed information
4) walked the neighbourhood and put a piece in each units front door
As you can see it was a beautiful September day and many attended. There were also a number who gave contact information and would like to be involved in another community BBQ.
I hope to contact those people and help them initiate a community BBQ of their own sometime this spring/summer.
The ultimate goal is for people in their neighbourhood to want to continue this as a regular event in their neighbourhood. I will be glad to help them organize their own BBQ, then leave it in their hands, unless they feel they need my assistance.
That way I am free to initiate community BBQ's in new areas!
