Take part in neighborhood gatherings and offer a smile or friendly greeting when out and about! Bath, East Lansing, Lansing, and Meridian (Okemos) neighborhoods all have vibrant communities. Attend the local farmers market, take your dog for a walk to the local park/playground, tell your neighbor how beautiful their flowers are as you walk by, etc. Small gestures of kindness go a long way in building a vibrant community!
