Shalom of Oakland

We had an amazing Block Party in our neighborhood on Saturday.  Our NCPC (Neighborhood Crime Prevention Council) for Police Beat 27X is called Melrose High Hopes.  It was our seventh annual Block Party, and my first.  Kayla helped me collect signatures from neighbors to get clearance from the City of Oakland to block off the street from traffic.  We met some wonderful and eclectic neighbors for the first time.  Our Block Party had live R&B and Hip Hop Music, hundreds of hot dogs and sodas, face painting, the bug people, ideas for green living, arts and crafts booths and much more. Damon Snyder contributed at the bike booth by repairing a series of bikes owned by children and adults.  It was great to see people come together for a good cause, for our neighborhood.  We'll post pictures soon.
