Take time to greet them in the street, and make friends with them. Participating in community events is the best way to meet new people and learn more about your community. It’s amazing how a small gesture from your neighbors can make a difference to people and their experience in the community. It may feel hard to meet your neighbors, here are some ways you can do that: - Join a club - Host a housewarming party - Knock on someone’s door to ask a question - If you enjoy baking, make extra and take them around to your neighbor’s - If you have a dog, let them help you make friends! Meeting your neighbors will make you feel more at home, and it’s useful too. If you’re out they can accept a parcel for you and if you need help, they’re there. ![white door with a welcome sign - bring positive change to your HOA](https://vinteum.io/wp-content/uploads/2023/02/positive-change-to-your-HOA-1-1024x681.jpg "Top 3 Ways to Bring Positive Change to Your HOA 1") ## 2 – Be part of a welcome wagon When people first move in, they may feel confused as to where to find information and what’s going on.
