For the uninitiated, Say Hi to Your Neighbors Week, now in its 3rd year, is comprised of events across our home city of Waltham encouraging community members to meet new neighbors and build relationships with those we haven&#8217;t seen in a while. We believe that connecting with neighbors can break down the isolation that people might feel when experiencing violence at the hands of their controlling partners.<\/p>\n<p>The week is jam-packed with fun events, here are just a few:<\/p>\n<p>On Monday, March 3<sup>rd<\/sup> \u2013 you can get 50% off your meal at <a href=\"http:\/\/www.in-a-pickle.com\/\">In a Pickle Restaurant<\/a> when you sit at the \u201ccommunity table\u201d and get to know someone new between 10am and 3pm.<\/p>\n<p>On Tuesday March 4<sup>th<\/sup> \u2013 look for us at the train station if you commute to and from Waltham, we\u2019ll be handing out free coffee!<\/p>\n<p>On Thursday March 6<sup>th<\/sup> \u2013 if you follow the Waltham scene on social media, come on out to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/pages\/Shoppers-Cafe\/130958190794\">Shoppers Caf\u00e9<\/a> at 5:30 and put some faces with the usernames.<\/p>\n<p>On Saturday March 8<sup>th<\/sup> \u2013 we\u2019re capping everything off with a Scavenger Hunt, from 11am \u2013 1pm, starting at <a href=\"http:\/\/watchcitybrew.com\/\">Watch City Brewery<\/a> and heading up and down Moody Street. <a href=\"https:\/\/docs.google.com\/forms\/d\/1u-LlSD64SAPLtMc2XVsh1vewjFrN8FC9MRnssS2yx5o\/viewform?utm_source=Say+Hi+Week+2014-1&amp;utm_campaign=Say+Hi+Week+2.24+1&amp;utm_medium=email\">Register<\/a> with a team or by yourself and we will match you up with a group. We\u2019ll wind up back at Watch City for some fabulous prizes.<\/p>\n<p>In addition to these activities planned by REACH, you and your neighbors can plan events to get to know one another. Some ideas include a dinner party, game night, movie night, having a block party, or just inviting someone over for coffee. These connections could someday give someone the strength to reach out for support, and may give you the helping hand you need someday too. And the spirit of Say Hi Week is not just limited to Waltham. If you live in another city and are organizing events to get to know your neighbors, tell us about it in the comments below or talk to us on social media.<\/p>\n<p>For more information on REACH&#8217;s Waltham Community Organizing, click <a href=\"http:\/\/www.reachma.org\/get-involved\/waltham-organizing\">here<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-488 alignleft\" src=\"http:\/\/localhost\/reachbackup7\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/03\/Say-Hi-225x300.jpg\" alt=\"Say Hi\" width=\"225\" height=\"300\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Just when you feel like it\u2019s the dead of winter and there\u2019s nothing to look forward to, you realize: next week is Say Hi to Your Neighbors week in Waltham!
