Neighborhood Heroes
Kelly Jarrett and Betty Greene
10/28/05
The InterNeighborhood Council honored OWDNA board members Betty Greene and Kelly Jarrett with "Neighborhood Hero" Awards" to distinguished citizens for their efforts in the community.
Betty and Kelly joined other neighbors in forming the Old West Durham Neighborhood Association. Neighbors say the women were insistent on incorporating the words "diversity, harmony, community" into the group's bylaws... Since then, the women have helped promote the neighborhood's "Night of Lights," worked on traffic calming measures and community policing. Jarrett is also working to help the neighborhood develop relationships with property managers who lease units in Old West Durham and throughout the city. (Herald-Sun)
