The parking lot
of the
Salvation Army headquarters on Bedford Street was transformed into a
neighborhood block party for residents of the surrounding area on
Saturday, July11, 2009. Organized by the Natalie Melo and Jenn Boulay of
the Bank Street Neighborhood Association, the event brought people
together to eat, socialize and have fun on a beautiful July day. "These
events help people to get to know one another," commented Natalie Melo,
"and the more people know one another the safer and more cohesive the
neighborhood becomes," she added. The Salvation Army often hosts events
put on by the Association. "They are a great neighbor," noted Jenn
Boulay. "We wouldn't be able to do an event like this without their
help," she noted while thanking Major Deming and his staff for their
help. For more information about this event or the Association, contact
Natalie Melo at 508-679-4119.
