On September 24 it is Neighbors Day again. How nice is it to be involved in your neighbourhood, to see your neighbors again and to give them extra attention….. Do you, as an entrepreneur or organization, have a special promotion for the neighborhood or your neighbors? Do you invite them for coffee, do you organize a special tour or do you just have a good idea for the neighborhood or your neighbours, organize it, ask the organizers for a contribution, and tell us so that we can support with the communication.
‘Burendag’ is an initiative of Douwe Egberts and the Oranje Fonds and is held on the fourth Saturday of September. An annual party that you celebrate together with your neighbors and the neighbourhood; a day when you get together and where many people do something good for each other and the neighbourhood. If you want to request a contribution for your activity, or a Neighbors Day package, you can. There are a few do’s and don’ts;
Do’s
- The Neighbors Day activity will take place on 23, 24 or 25 September 2022.
