Thank you, Block Captains!
How can we possibly hand-deliver membership packets to all 1,000+ neighbors in Ridglea North? Only with the help of our amazing Block Captain volunteers! Over the weekend, several Block Captains worked to assemble membership packets and get them ready for delivery. In the next couple weeks, the volunteers will deliver the packets to all Ridglea North neighbors. Block Captains also work throughout the year to welcome new neighbors and encourage block parties and neighbor camaraderie. Thank you, Block Captains, for making Ridglea North such a special place. If you're interested in being a Block Captain or helping welcome new neighbors, contact Neighbors Director Lynn Newman. |

Camp Bowie Improvements
Have you seen the improvements to the 6700-7000 blocks of Camp Bowie Boulevard? The landscape and construction crews have finished installing plants and improving the overall aesthetic of the historic corridor. Funded by the Green Ribbon Grant, Camp Bowie District planted several different types of plants that are not only visually pleasing but help with air quality. |

Neighbor Spotlight: Lizzy McNamara
1) Tell us about yourself and your family. My household is relatively small, consisting of myself and my five year old German Shorthaired Pointer, Remi, who loves long walks around Berney Park.
2) How long have you lived in Ridglea North? I bought my house back in May 2018. Having previously rented on Edgehill from 2014 - 2016 I missed the community and knew that I wanted to eventually buy in Ridglea North. A sweet neighbor made that possible when my house went on the market (thanks, Lindsay)! |

3) What’s your favorite neighborhood activity or event? Although not necessarily a neighborhood sanctioned event, I really loved gathering with my block to cheer on the Turkey Trot runners that went down our street and have also really enjoyed the annual block parties and hope that we can safely gather again in the near future.
4) What's your favorite thing to do in Fort Worth? I love trying new restaurants and exploring new developments around town like South Main, The River District and Clearfork. Any area that is pedestrian friendly (and dog friendly) where you can drop your car and explore on foot is right up my alley. Having grown up in Fort Worth, I love that the city continues to grow and change over time. |
|
|
5) What’s your best advice on being a good neighbor? Finding commonalities and interests have helped me engage with so many in the neighborhood. Whether it is working out, loving animals or sharing recipes, I love finding common threads that tie us together.
