Now we have moved over to the B … what do you think it should be?  Well my pick is Block Party.

There is no better way to get to know you neighbors and build your community than to break bread with them.  Find out who is living next door to you, do more than say “Good Morning” to them as you leave each morning.

Well how to begin planning your block party.

* Talk with as many people as you can and choose a date. Develop flyers if necessary and pass them around the neighborhood.  The walking will do your body good.

*Get a few folks together and start planning the logistics.  Who do you have to call at the City to get the street blocked off?  Who will bring what?  Who will handle the clean up?  What games will there for the kids?  Will there be a DJ or will folks be bringing their favorite CD’s?  Who is bringing what food wise?

* Have name tags available to get to learn the names of those that you may not see on a regular basis.

Have fun at this event and learn more about the folks that you share a block with.  It should be fun. 

What would your B have been?

Well Lexus Events is going to take you thru the alphabet of Weddings & Special Events as we see it. And of course we want your input on each letter so make sure that you comment. Ready to start? OK here we go:

A = Appetizers

Definition:

1. food served before main course: a small dish of food served at the beginning of a meal to stimulate the appetite
2. stimulating sample: a sample of something that is meant to stimulate an interest

They are a great way to start off a meal or just the right snack when folks are just mingling and chatting away. Are you a DIY kinda person and want to try something new? Check out the recipes on http://www.foodnetwork.com/ or http://www.allrecipes.com/
