Community Harmony & Spirit
“We’re building safer, spirited, unified communities one at a time”

Purpose
Discover ways in our community to support each other, local charities and schools. A measure of success and contentment can be evaluated in the level of dedication to giving back to the greater community. Sharing our time, talents, and financial resources as individuals and small groups as an entity is a true reflection of community spirit.

Nearly 60 percent of respondents said that they participate in each of the following community-wide events: parties, holiday celebrations, neighborhood watch programs, and community holiday decorating. Forty-five percent of respondents said that they participate in other social events. However, 45 percent of community association residents also admitted that they either never volunteer or only volunteer in their associations once a year.

    The components of citizenship, community service, academics, work and home life, and extracurricular actives help me shine as a well-rounded individual. As an involved and caring citizen in the Union Township community, I do my best to make my mark. Displaying a good role as a citizen through community service has been a value I possessed ever since I could remember. At a young age, I started to serve my community with my parents at both school and church events and it has stuck with me since. Through community service such as being an assistant teacher in St. Veronica’s Religious Education Program, Glen Este High School’s member of National Honors Society, and Key Club, I not only helped out Union Township but I have also made new relationships and feel good about myself. Community service always makes me feel better because I know I’m helping others and making my mark through the friends I have made through both of these service programs.…

    When I hear the word patriotism I automatically have an image in my head of soldiers saluting a flag or a group standing to say the pledge of allegience. To be honest I usually do not think of ALL the ways we can show our patriotism. There are many oppportunities put in front of us daily to show the honor we feel from being a citizen of the United States. Being a citizen grants us many freedoms that most other countries to not offer to their residents. For example, we have the right to vote, speak, choose our representatives and have a identity of our own as a person and individual. With these rights are responsibilities and the debt we owe to show how proud we are to be in this wonderful country. All citizens years 18 or older have the right to vote, but sadly many do not. This is due to laziness and/or lack of knowledge. This is not right, we fought for our freedoms and it is up to us to show patriotnism by using them. There are many other ways to show patriotism in a local area or even throughout the county and state. Patriotic ceremonies are usually held somewhere in your county- attend one, show that you care about the freedoms we have as a nation. Find a local buisness or organization that does not have a flag flying and raise money to donate a flag. Raising money could be done by selling flag pins or stickers and giving out informational papers on the history of the flag. For people to fully understand the meaning of what being a patriot is they need to understand the value of their rights. I also feel that children should be taught as early as possible the reasons we fly flags and what the colors, stripes, and stars all mean. Schools are a big influence on a childs life, so why not show patriotism through our educational systems? Have posters throughtout the halls supporting our country, have speakers come in and talk about what it is like to be a patriot. Incorporate a lesson about how important our…

    For example, search for programs like housing assistance. Some programs can be found at local churches. The community should be ready before enforcing prevention programs. Find a specific group of people to help treat in the community. Let’s say that Carmen have more experience working with Africa Americans. She limited her prevention program to the African American population. Prevention programs can also be used in schools. For instance, the “DARE” program. The DARE program targets young children in school. “The DARE program helps everywhere try to empower all children to respect others and choose to lead lives free from violence, substance abuse, and other dangerous behaviors” (dare.org). Lastly, you should try to figure out what methods to incorporate in the prevention…
