Blooming Neighborhood Celebration
Saturday, June 4, 9 a.m. to noon, Farmers’ Market, 401 N Morton
The Blooming Neighborhood Awards/Celebration was created in 2001 by the City of Bloomington to recognize Bloomington Neighborhoods for their efforts and rewards the accomplishments of organized neighborhood groups. The City provides tables for neighborhoods to set up displays and promote their neighborhood during the festivities. Last year 22 Neighborhood Organizations had festive displays – promoting the unique character of their neighborhoods. The day provides a wonderful community event starting with our Farmers’ Market and a combination of activities for the Blooming Neighborhood Celebration.
Have your neighborhood represented at the Blooming Neighborhood Celebration - tables will be provided free of charge to neighborhood. This is a great opportunity to share with the community the wonderful aspects of your neighborhood. A map of your neighborhood will be provided to you.

Neighborhood Leadership Brochure
"THE TIME TESTED WAY TO RECYCLE YOUR COMMUNITY" - THURSDAY, JUNE 9, 2011, 7 TO 9 P.M. IN THE CITY COUNCIL CHAMBER OF CITY HALL
We all need to feel a part of our community and to feel the link between the generations who created our town. This session of the 2011 Leadership Series will feature the neighbors who have lead their communities toward Conservation or Historic District status, and illustrate how historic preservation has created stability, value and relationships among residents. Participants are encouraged to bring items that have been found in their home or yard for “show and tell.” For most of us, historic preservation is as much a personal journey as it is a series of regulations. Come share the stories of your own restoration and discoveries, learn how to research your home and how to ensure your neighborhood’s continued success.
HAND will offer a drawing for a free Home Energy Audit to one of the participants in each session!Small and Simple–go to the website for more information and an application!
Provides neighborhoods with the opportunity to initiate projects that require $1,000 or less - applications always available.
