CARING NEIGHBOR DAY
The realization of a caring neighbor as the basis of community and good government led to the establishment of an annual Caring Neighbor Day by the Michigan governor. There are many caring neighbors whose kindness go unnoticed. A special day in their honor encourages many others to see caring as the path to our humanity.
A special Caring Neighbor Day is celebrated each year to highlight the role of government in promoting cooperation and fair competition. Government is simply an extension of those governed; caring and cooperation among neighbors is the basis of good government.
The Mayor of Grand Ledge, Michigan, began an annual Caring Neighbor Day for the people of the city in 2008.
