Exciting events to take place in Roosevelt neighborhood

A neighborhood clean up day is in the works for Roosevelt neighborhood.

Pastor of Roosevelt Community Church, Kurt Ingram, said his church already has a day like this on April 17 known as a “spring cleaning day”.

“We could combine forces and get the whole neighborhood involved,” Ingram said. “The kids could help out by doing things like yard work and we could have a potluck afterwards in the park.”

Also being discussed among neighbors is the upcoming Ski to Sea Parade scheduled for May 28.

Trudy Shuravloff, executive director of The Whatcom Dream, spoke about having a “Love on Roosevelt Campaign." 

“We are the only neighborhood involved in the parade so far,” said Shuravloff. “This is our opportunity to show Bellingham how diverse and amazing our neighborhood really is.”

Plans to make a float are in the works as well as possible neighborhood T-shirts.
