Friends of Oak Grove, Inc. (FOOGI)
About Us |
In May of 2006, a group of neighbors interested in improving their neighborhood relationships, got together to form "Friends of Oak Grove, Inc." Since that time, we have coordinated the installation of picnic tables in Patchell Park, decorative trash bins on Grove St, a 5K road race, a plant and book swap, movie night and a Christmas tree lighting for the neighborhood! These events and the monthly meetings have brought our neighbors together and we have formed strong friendships. We believe being involved and active in your community is not only fun, but it helps reduce crime and vandalism. Having a sense of pride in your city makes you want to commit to make it better! Mission StatementThe purpose of this organization is the enrichment and improvement of the Oak Grove community and its environment Through the sponsorship of activities and events (which focus on the health, education, entertainment and general well being of Oak Grove residents), it is our mission to encourage good neighborhood relationships; to promote community cohesiveness; and to beautify the public areas in and around Oak Grove and the City of Malden. |
