CAN NEIGHBORHOOD DEVELOPMENT COMMITTEE – BLOCK CAPTAINS NEEDED
The CAN Neighborhood Development Committee encourages the development of self-identified neighborhood “blocks” through which members both (a) address their own neighborhood-specific concerns (e.g., individual neighbors needing assistance/support), and (b) leverage the combined energy and influence of CAN to advance common goals (e.g., zoning standards and enforcement).
Neighborhood “blocks” are loosely defined to meet the needs and concerns of each self-identified neighborhood. Although such concerns may vary widely across the city, CAN identifies commonalities to prioritize and take action on shared concerns.
Neighborhood “Block Captains” organize social events and other activities through which people get to know their neighbors and identify problems and concerns. Building neighborhood involvement across the City is considered the key to keeping CAN vibrant and effective.
CAN DESPERATELY NEEDS BLOCK CAPTAINS FROM EVERY CAMBRIDGE NEIGHBORHOOD. If interested in volunteering, please contact Chuck McFadden at Ragtime31@gmail.com or CambridgeCAN@yahoo.com
