Get Struck By Cupid - A Seasonal Neighborhood Idea

 

"You've Been Struck By Cupid" is fun neighborhood activity that helps to spread love.

Use or copy the available downloadable page and fold cut it in half.

Put together a package of treats and activities that express love.

Place those items and some colored tissue paper in a bag 

Be sure to the instructions from the downloadable page in the bag.

Secretly deliver your cupid bag to a neighbor.

If you receive a bag on your porch, please put the “We’ve Been Struck by Cupid” sign on your front door so you don’t become a target again.

Feel free to share about the bag you received from Cupid with a post on the Becoming an Engaged Neighbor Facebook page to encourage others to participate this month.
