Friends of the Neighborhood House

The Neighborhood House is hosting Playstreets. Bring the family outside to play. Starting at 4pm October 17, 2012 we will have activities to promote stepping out of the house and enjoying our community. We will close off the street around the Neighborhood House to create a safe space for kids to play, outside. Combating obesity through fun physical activities. This is a step in helping to keep our street safe for families. We have plenty of fun activities like basketball and double dutch. This is an initiative by the Chicago Department of Public Health and Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Illinois to promote active and safe neighborhoods. Can't wait to see you there.

The Neighborhood House will be having registration for our very own Girl Scout Troop. If you are interested in joining the Girl Scouts you can stop by the center for registration or information on how to join the troop. Just ask for Margarita 773-731-8187
