CommUnity Trees

“In Unity there is strength”

Why: We are a populace yearning for connection. We (citizens, community members, students) need to chart a new way forward, beyond cynicism.

What: Trees decorated in neighborhoods and at schools across town with hand-made tree bark “ornaments” that display positive words and images. The act of creating the ornaments, and decorating the trees, creates conversation, creates community.

Where do we begin? With a conversation about community. From that comes positive words and mutual values (Peace, Hope, Love, Compassion, Forgiveness, The Golden Rule) reinforced visually… SEEing positive images and words imprints our subconscious, our hearts, our souls.

Who: Neighborhood Associations, Schools, Students, Teachers, Community members.

How: Choose a special tree or trees in your neighborhood. The Downtown Neighborhood Association* brings the materials = paints, pieces of wood, glitter, hanging thread, cord, wires, glue, glue gun, etc.

Result: Something to take home that doesn’t cost a thing…the memory is free, as is the feeling of CommUnity!
