The RNeighborhood Association Toolkit was assembled by the board and staff of RNeighbors with the help of RTeam, a group of Augsburg College students. This document is meant to be a constantly evolving work, new information will added to the online version of the Toolkit.
Many excellent documents were used in putting this collection together including examples of neighborhood information from other cities, sample documents from Rochester Neighborhood Associations, and other periodic information.
