After uniting more than 250 residents in six area neighborhoods using Facebook, group founder Nikki Carangelo took her spot before the podium and pleaded for the mayor and aldermen to do more to reduce crime in their communities. It was not the first time a group of citizens demanded action. And it won’t be the last. Carangelo’s concerns are shared by dozens of neighborhood leaders throughout Savannah who have been working for years to make their communities safe, enjoyable places to live.
Just ask Freddie Patrick. As executive director of the Eastside Neighborhood Alliance, Patrick leads a group composed of the Benjamin Van Clark, Dixon Park, Eastside Concerned Citizens and Live Oak neighborhood associations that was formed about nine years before Carangelo got the City Council’s attention.
The new group’s similar name is no problem, Patrick said, because everyone wants the same thing. “If they are going to use that name and make the city better, I’m all for it,” he said. A unified voice Across Savannah, a variety of residents are volunteering their time to organize their neighbors and keep the city aware of their concerns. Of the city’s 100 neighborhoods, 57 have active associations, said Kerri Reid, Savannah’s director of community planning and development. The city tries to nurture those groups by conducting leadership training programs and providing liaisons such as her because the associations are beneficial to everyone, Reid said. “It helps the community come together with a unified voice,” she said. “We’re able to hear from them in a manner that is organized.” In East Savannah, Patrick said he spends about 30 hours a week performing his duties as the executive director of the alliance and president of his neighborhood association.
As a neighborhood coordinator with the city, Naomi Brown said she is familiar with the assistance Patrick and his organization offer to the community, including nurse training and homebuyer assistance programs. “They have a lot of stuff going on over there at W.W. Law,” Brown said, referring to the community center on East Bolton Street where Patrick’s organization meets every second Saturday of the month. Then there are people like Betty Jones. The retired school counselor spends money out of her own pocket to keep the lights on at the Feiler Park Neighborhood Association’s headquarters, an old house owned by the city at the intersection of Meding and 57th streets.
Having grown up in the neighborhood, Jones has been working as the association’s president for more than 20 years to make sure there is no reason to leave. “It just seemed to be a calling,” she said. And George Seaborough, an associate coordinator with Citizen Advocacy who is sleeping lightly these days thanks his newborn daughter, reformed the Twickenham Neighborhood Association about two years ago. “The only time people pay attention to neighborhoods is when they have an association,” Seaborough said. “That’s the only way you have a voice.” Patricia Harris, who serves as president of the Poplar Place neighborhood adjacent to DeRenne Avenue, knows the importance of community organizing. Thanks to her efforts at rallying residents along Hampstead Avenue, the mayor and aldermen have been trying to make good on the promise of a previous council to buy their properties before Project DeRenne shifts about 30,000 vehicles onto the edge of their driveways. “I guarantee you the people that make decisions for us would not live on this street,” Harris said.
‘Boots on the ground’ Neighborhood associations let the city know what is going on in their community and what can be done to help, while providing the chance for residents to interact directly with the people being paid to protect them. Crime prevention officers, who serve as liaisons between the Savannah-Chatham police department and residents, attend all the meetings, no matter how lightly attended. Firefighters from Savannah Fire and Emergency Services also take the time for those meetings and talk to residents about how to keep them from having to pay their homes an emergency visit. And property maintenance workers keep showing up to learn about the latest eyesore, even if the meeting space is sometimes more sparse than the abandoned structures they board up. Alderman Van Johnson said the associations serve as partners with the city and the meetings provide residents with a chance to keep crime prevention officers abreast of any criminal activity. If residents don’t feel comfortable talking to the police, they can talk to their neighborhood president, Johnson said.
“They are our boots on the ground,” he said. Sometimes that interaction pays off. Patrick said the eastside alliance was able to get lights installed and establish an increased police presence at Benjamin Van Clark park to address illicit activity that had been occurring there. “The community has formed a great partnership with the police,” he said. Still, many of the associations’ leaders struggle to get people involved. Sometimes there are more city staffers, police and firemen at the Feiler Park meetings than residents, Jones said.
Feiler Park isn’t alone. A common refrain among neighborhood presidents is that it often takes a disturbance to get residents to attend a meeting, whether it’s a shooting or road project. When the recent Truman Parkway extension was being built, turnout was high at the Holland Drive Neighborhood Association meetings because of concerns about the impact of the project, said president Verlene Lampley.
After the extension’s completion, attendance dropped to a handful of residents, Lampley said. “Most of us have the same problem — getting people out,” she said.
“If we have something going on, we’ll get them out.” Neighborhood collaborations Ronald Williams’ office desk in the Moses Jackson Golden Age Center has one glass full of pencils and another with only three. The West Savannah Community Organization president, who wants to organize an anti-crime rally in Forsyth Park on the first day of summer, said the large cluster of pencils represents neighborhoods that work together. Then he picked up a single pencil from the other glass and snapped it in half. “If we band together, we can’t be broken,” Williams said. As attendance dwindles, many of Savannah’s neighborhood’s are joining together to strengthen their influence. Last year, president Bud Rosser merged the Beach Historic Neighborhood Association with the Downtown Neighborhood Association because of declining attendance.
“I would schedule guest speakers and only three people would show up,” Rosser said. Now, 15 to 20 Beach residents typically attend the larger downtown meetings, he said.
Live Oak Neighborhood Association president Brenda Walker said joining Patrick’s eastside alliance also has boosted the attendance of her community’s residents. And Jones said she meets with other area presidents on a quarterly basis because the issues they are dealing with don’t end at Feiler Park. “The community needs to be Savannah,” she said. “Not just separate areas.” Tech know-how On the day after Carangelo’s appearance at the City Council meeting, Rev.
Ben Gosden, senior pastor at the Aldersgate United Methodist Church, used Facebook to offer his church in Avondale as meeting space for the alliance. Gosden, who lives next door to the church, said he found out about Carangelo’s group when he was checking online for news about a shooting near his house the night before. The discovery was a relief because Avondale’s association is floundering, Gosden said. “I’ve been longing since June for some sort of organization,” he said. The group has since taken Gosden up on his offer, and a townhall meeting has been scheduled there for May 29.
Long-established neighborhood associations have also embraced the use of online tools as a way to improve communication between residents. In addition to neighborhood websites and Facebook, the private social network, Nextdoor, has become a popular method for tracking crime, alerting neighbors about a lost pet and finding a reliable plumber. Twickenham president Seaborough said the eastside alliance’s effective use of Facebook has helped foster a better dialogue between his neighborhood and Gordonston, which didn’t always see eye to eye. And Rosser said Nextdoor has proven to be an effective way for Beach residents to discuss matters solely related to their neighborhood after his group merged with the downtown association. The phone app also proved effective in mobilizing concerned residents when the Savannah College of Art and Design’s larger buses began cruising through downtown earlier this year. “It was successful,” he said.
“They cut down by two-thirds the size of the buses.” Neighborhood crime prevention officers have also been participating in the neighborhoods’ online discussions to learn residents’ concerns and keep the community updated on how issues are being addressed. Still, many neighborhoods are comprised of residents who lack the ability or resources necessary to get online. Rob Sutter, president of the Baldwin Park Neighborhood Association, said there are about 450 homes in the neighborhood and only about 60 percent of the residents have email capabilities.
For those who can’t access the neighborhood’s website, the association provides printed newsletters and fliers to keep residents informed, Sutter said. Alderman John Hall has a Facebook profile and often joins the discussions that take place on the social media site, but he said there will always be a need to meet face to face. “People need to know their neighbors,” Hall said. Carangelo said the Eastside Allicance plans to hold more meetings in person, in addition to the coming townhall meeting at the end of the month, as the number of members on the group’s Facebook page grows. With her group focused on the city’s eastside, “sister” groups, such as the Southside Savannah Alliance and Chatham Alliance, have been popping up on Facebook to improve communities throughout the city and Chatham County, Carangelo said.
“I’m all for it,” she said. “It gets us communicating.” Neighborhood association meeting times and dates are posted on the city of Savannah’s website.

Faced with the financial impact of warranty costs, launch delays, late-product rework, and product recalls, companies can’t afford not to take quality very seriously. But too often, product quality is addressed using disjointed, department-specific tools that seldom – if ever – communicate critical quality information across organizational functions and lifecycle stages.
