The pace of modern life is very demanding with competing obligations to work and family. Often this means that we don’t make time to get to know our neighbors very well and we are missing out on some fun and rewarding friendships. IZKALI Tequila was created, in part, to celebrate the Mexican tradition of sharing good food and good times with friends and family. Tomorrow, September 28th, is National Good Neighbor Day, and it is the perfect opportunity for us to reach out a helping hand in friendship.
National Good Neighbor Day was originally conceived of by Mrs. Becky Mattson in the early 1970s. Mattson and her congressman persuaded each of Presidents Nixon, Ford, and Carter to sign proclamations for National Good Neighbor Day. In 2003, the U.S. Senate finally passed a resolution that officially made September 28th National Good Neighbor Day.
What can you do tomorrow to help celebrate National Good Neighbor Day? How about offering to carry your neighbor’s groceries? Invite neighbors over for a BBQ and margaritas or if you are feeling ambitious, host a block party and get everyone involved.
Or if you don’t know your neighbors at all, start with a simple smile and a wave when you see them.
Tell us how you’ve been a good neighbor or how your neighbor has been good to you!
