2008 Projects

2008 National Night Out

Our second National Night Out event is organized by the Neighborhood Blockwatch which is co-captained by Sharon Bersaas and NgocDzung Smith. To be held on August 5, this unique event allows our neighbors to meet and get to know one another while fostering a sense of community and highlighting our safety efforts and concerns. City of Kent officials and public safety representatives visit to answer questions. This event will be held at the Kent Historical Museum for the second year in a row. Raffle items were donated by several local businesses including Cycle Therapy, Marie Haggin Accessories, Tina Russeff LMP, Stacey Kroeze LMP, the Kent Downtown Partnership, and the Perk Up Place. Thank you to the generosity of these local businesses.

2008 Plant Exchange

Organized by Sandy Cooper, Tammy McClimans, and NgocDzung Smith, our First Annual Plant Exchange was held on April 12, 2008. It was a great way to trade extra plants from your garden for new plants! This event gave neighbors an opportunity to meet and share extra plants and bulbs in exchange for new ones for both the novice and experienced gardener!

2008 Neighborhood Yard Sale

Organized by Julie Brown and Laura Gorders, our First Neighborhood Yard Sale was held on June 14, 2008. This successful event featured cookie and lemonade sales by local children, flyers, neighborhood signage, balloons, and maps of the participating households.
