Neighborhood Networks Week is just two months away

Have you been wondering how your center can participate in Neighborhood Networks Week 2009? How about hosting a local event? What about joining fellow Neighborhood Networks stakeholders from around the country for one of the national events that will be Web cast by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD)? No matter how you participate, Neighborhood Networks Week is your time to shine.

Neighborhood Networks Week 2009 is scheduled for August 3-8. The weeklong national observance is the ideal time to pay tribute to all those who dedicate their time and energy to making the Initiative a success, recognize the achievements of those who take advantage of the resources offered at their local Neighborhood Networks center, promote center programs and success, increase awareness of the Initiative, and strengthen the community.
