Cypress Village N4N – A Great Day in the Neighborhood

Cypress Village N4N – A Great Day in the Neighborhood

The Cypress Village Neighbor 4 Neighbor event today was terrific.

The HOA put on a very nice event for the 681 units in the complex and more that 100 residents  attended. Our West Orange County CERT program had 4 tables/booths set up – Make Plan, Get A Kit, Get Informed and the doctors ran a very popular Disaster First Aid table. We had great participation from the Team with Ray, Hermie, Art, Pat & Roberta, Gloria, Robin, Jan, and the Doctors all there. We also had a big assist from Lance with helping to load the truck at the conex box and Loree’s planning and coordination for the event made it all possible. It was a great Team success.

Thanks to each of you and to the residents and management of Cypress Village for hosting such a well run event.

Enjoy some photos form the day:

Neighbor 4 Neighbor® – Seal Beach @ Schooner Park

Neighbor 4 Neighbor® – Seal Beach @ Schooner Park

Neighbor 4 Neighbor The neighbors along Schooner Way in Seal Beach got together for a Neighbor 4 Neighbor® event on Saturday 10/27/2018 and had a terrific turn out. Jeannie Dennison and a team of block captains arranged the event in the park along Schooner Way. The day was primarily for the neighbors to get out and meet each other so in case of an emergency or disaster they would have nearby people to lend a hand to help and to help keep an eye on things everyday.

The Program is supported by the Seal Beach Police Department, the Orange County Fire Authority, West Orange County CERT, the City of Seal Beach, and the SVPD Volunteers in Policing (VIPS). Loree Erpelding  from Neighbor 4 Neighbor and Corporal Julia Clasby from Seal Beach PD helped to coordinate the event.

It was a very nice day at the park with neighbors sharing food and stories, and most importantly, building relationships.
