Noodies make great neighbors! They are your neighbors - they are the teachers at your neighborhood school, the shopkeeper around the corner, and the pastor at the neighborhood church. They are city employees, block captains, and little league coaches. Noodies are neighborhood leaders, community resources, and champions of positive change. Becoming an effective Noodie can make the difference to your community.
