Good Neighbor Award

The Lincoln Downtown Neighborhood Association  presented the second Good Neighbor Award on June 11, 2003 to the Community Alternative Workers (CAN) group who so diligently keeps our downtown neighborhood clean.  Members of the CAN group were presented with ribbions durning the reception. 

In 2002 the  DNA board decided that the neighborhood needed to award those folks who promote the friendliness of the downtown "hood". They came up with the DNA Good Neighbor Award and had the ribbons designed at Awards Unlimited. The qualifications for the award are quite broad: a person, group or organization that visibly adds to the friendliness of our neighborhood. Nominations can be given to the DNA board at anytime to be voted on at the monthly board meetings.
