 Neighborhoods
are only as vibrant and strong as the people living in them.
In the Tri-Cities, we are fortunate to have homeowners who
take pride in their homes and their neighborhoods. From small
and historic homes, to large and new, MVNIA salutes our neighbors
who are improving their homes and investing in our community.
For inspiration, Mayor Schielke of Batavia, Mayor Burns of
Geneva, and Mayor DeWitte of St. Charles have declared
October 1- 7 as Neighborhood Pride Week. While the projects range from modest to expansive, all of
the homeowners have invested time and energy to make things
look great! If these homes are in your neighborhood, tell
the homeowners how much you appreciate their efforts. If your
home or your neighborhood could use some spiffing up, why
not get busy, and inspire everyone on the block. |
