<br />
A positive crowd showed up to this awesome event in beautiful Laurelton. The only way we can keep our neighborhood clean is by doing it ourselves. Before we started we received a pep talk from some citizens who have lived here for over 30 years. They painted a picture of just how glorious this neighborhood was back in the days. We owe it to them to restore this gem.<br />
<br />
If you missed yesterday's event you have four more chances to show your Laurelton Pride!<br />

I believe that an online forum like this could fit in well with our busy lives. In the past I have been part of block associations which meant well but we always struggled with member participation. With this format we can all check in when it is convenient.<br /><br />My dream is that this site can be used to bring us all together to make <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_1" class="blsp-spelling-error">Laurelton</span> the best place to live in Queens. <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_2" class="blsp-spelling-error">Laurelton</span> is a great place to live but a couple of things would make it better. Are there some great shops on Merrick that you think are noteworthy? Where can I buy fish around here? Where do I get my shoes fixed? How do I join the Garden Club? Where and when is the next community meeting?<br /><br />I look forward to hearing from you.Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0
