Edgecliff
Annual walk next Saturday
Something interesting happens when you walk your own neighborhood.
You get to know your neighbors. You see who’s been experimenting with new landscaping and who just bought a new car or got a new pet.
It’s how we invest in our neighborhoods and in our neighbors.
In the Edgecliff community, such a walk has been an annual fall tradition for nine years.
The Edgecliff office of SCOPE, the Sheriff’s Community Oriented Policing Effort, will hold its Walk For Success and Festival Saturday.
Local residents will walk about a dozen blocks through the neighborhood as a way of demonstrating their unity in the fight against crime and poverty.
This year’s theme is “Hands are for hugging, not hitting.”
Guest speakers will talk in Edgecliff Park following the walk. There will be face painting in the park for the kids as well as food and music.
