COMMUNITY PARTNERSHIP - PRESS RELEASE Contact: Kathy Renfrow (925) 676-8403 Kathy_renfrow_99@yahoo.com Organized by the Four
Corners Neighborhood Action Team. Join us for our 2nd
Annual Monument Community Pride Celebration on Saturday, Monument Blvd. is our neighborhood where we live, work & raise families. We have wonderful businesses & community organizations that have so much to be proud of in the way they touch peoples lives. We want to be known for the vibrant colors & richness that this area is made up of, and showcase who we are so that we can be a proud community that leads to downtown Concord. We also want to attract individuals from outside the community to see the Monument through the lens of hope & opportunity, rather than its challenges. In addition to various family friendly activities for children & families, including local talent through music, dance and arts we want to showcase the multi-cultural diversity of the area. We will showcase the one of a kind businesses that are located here. To change the perception of being hopeless to the possibility of reinvestment & redevelopment. To develop local resident & business leadership in the process of rebuilding community pride.
