The South Side Community Action Network (SSCAN) Neighbor Night
The South Side Community Action Network (SSCAN) is a community network organization revolving around Asset Based Community Development (ABCD)– local people working together for the wellbeing of their community.
- Why? After number of public meetings held in 2022 brought neighborhood issues to the table, a structure to implement Community Development was needed.
- How would we do it? A resident suggest ABCD as a tool and the wheels started turning.
- Who would do it? All of us- those that care enough to act!
A big component of ABCD is Neighbor Night! Please join us Tuesday, April 18th from 6PM-9PM at the Historic South Side Market House for our first Neighbor Night!
Neighbor Night has four main parts:
- Check-In: we want to hear what’s new and good with you.
- Business of the Network: brief 20 minute small group conversations for neighbors to share interest or concerns in a healthy and productive environment.
- Marketplace: Share with your neighbors. You can make an offer (something to share), or a request (something you need), or a declaration (something you’ll do). It’s fun and allows you to help someone in the neighborhood or get some help if you need it!
- Bump and Spark! Time to network and chat. Food and drinks will be provided.
