Take our Community Mapping Test Test #4

"Mapping" Citizens Association

A neighborhood is more than just streets and buildings and the people who live there. Some residents belong to the same extended family; others work together. Some go to the same church on Sunday mornings; others play softball in the park on Saturday afternoons or bowl on Tuesday nights. Young families organize childcare co-ops; other people form book clubs or bridge groups. There may be local school councils, block clubs, historical societies, theater groups, gardening clubs, Alcoholics Anonymous meetings, and a thousand other groups. Formality ranges from three neighbors meeting over coffee to plan a block party, to a full-fledged community meeting with gavels and microphones and Robert's Rules of Order. Please help us identify those groups in your neighborhood.
