As some of you know, I have been working on a website to facilitate making it easy for everyone in our community to be able to get in touch with each other whenever something occurs that is of interest to the community. Although, the website The Neighborhood Exchange was originally envisioned as just something we could use to stay in touch with each other, it's sort of grown to include much more functionality then was originally planned, with additional options already planned as future site enhancements. 

I want to thank our early testers for providing feedback on what the site should include and how to make the site useful as a neighborhood communication tool. The site now provides both private and public neighborhood group options and a multitude of privacy settings for users, as a result. We are now in the final stage of our planned testing. This is where the rubber meets the road--real world testing--inviting neighbors to try out the site and requesting and receiving their feedback.  

With the above said, fellow Residence of The Enclave at Camino Ranch, you are invited to try the site out and provide your feedback. Feel free to explore the site at www.theneighborhoodexchange.com on your desktop or mobile device. 

Your feedback is welcome and may be provided via The Enclave at Camino Ranch Group's story form (group feed), group membership required; my Profile Page's "start a conversation" icon (private message), signin required; or, if you prefer, via email to info@theneighborhoodexchangecom

 

 

When you know your neighbors, and have the ability to contact them, you have a valuable resource for gathering recommendations and for obtaining support for community issues. The Neighborhood Exchange was created to facilitate getting to know your neighbors and being able to contact them when you need to. I hope you find the site enjoyable and most of all useful.

The Neighborhood Exchange is all about you getting to know your neighbors 

Unless your neighborhood is unusual, it probably has a continuing move in and move out of neighbors going on. If you've kept to yourself, or have just been busing managing your day to day routine, chances are you don't know quiet as many of your neighbors as you once did. Even if you've made it a goal to know your immediate neighbors, chances are you don't know but a few, if any living on the connecting street or the next street over. The Neighborhood Exchange wants to help change this by faciliating communications between neighborhood residents, and businesses. Together we can create that sence of closeness and belonging that creates neighborhood pride.

Join us in our quest to get everyone connected with their community.

Today is different than years ago... today it's not unusual for families to extent across the country, even the world. Whether due to career goals / advancement opportunities or a number of possible other reasons, the fact remains that the close-knit feeling of "community," has eroded over time. We no longer feel as safe as a result. What can we do?

Today the internet has made communication easier than ever--the "long distance barrier is gone!" But still, available tools alone are not the answer. You have to participate in order for the communications process to help. When it comes to your neighborhood, you not only need to be informed of the issues facing your neighborhood, you need to be part of the solution. With The Neighborhood Exchange you have a powerful tool for communicating with your neighbors. Join your neighborhood's private social network and begin communicating about issues and concerns particular to your neighborhood. The Neighborhood Exchange wants to help bring back that close-knit feeling of community that once was.

Join us today and let The Neighborhood Exchange help you begin the communication process in your neighborhood.
