As mentioned last week, I wanted to outline several project idea’s to help unite and strengthen our neighborhood. Here is the first one:
#1 Getting the Alliance organized. I think there are at least three pieces:
- Getting to know all the neighborhoods by getting contacts established for each neighborhood. Goal: have a publicly available contact (primary and secondary) for each neighborhood available via lineberry.org.
- Growing the email list by spreading the word and creating awareness about the Alliance from each neighborhood association. Goal: Double the number of recipients on the list by December 2008.
- Create neighborhood profiles at lineberry.org to “advertise” each neighborhood, it’s unique characteristics, to promote the reasons why we live here. Goal: attract good home owners, active landlords, and quality renters.
Please discuss this idea in our forum at http://lineberry.org/boards/viewtopic.php?p=105

About: Jason: I'm a neighborhood advocate. I started off by getting involved in the Pleasant Ridge & Ramsgate Community Watch program and helped grow that organization. I saw an opportunity to unite other neighborhoods in our area with the Lineberry Alliance. I became chair of Raleigh's South West Citizen Advisory Council (SWCAC) in April 2010 along with vice chair Anthony McLeod and second vice chair Mary Belle Pate. I work with other neighborhood leaders in District D alongside City Councilor Thomas Crowder, on the District D Neighborhood Alliance (DDNA). I've completed Raleigh Neighborhood College (Spring 2005) and Leadership North Carolina (May 2007). In 2009, I lead a group of neighborhood volunteers to review Raleigh's 2030 Comprehensive Plan. I have a genuine interest in strong communities, fostering diversity, understanding the issues, and being transparent in my work. You can follow me on Twitter: @jhibbets |
[...] group brainstormed on this for a while. We first recognized that we need to be better organized. I’ve talked about this before, but what we really need to do is form a board of directors and get some neighborhood commitment. [...]
