Project Neighborhood 10-year Anniversary
Saturday, February 9, 2008

In February 1998 seven Calvin students, along with mentors Bruce and Sue Osterink, moved into Calvin’s first Project Neighborhood (PN) house. Today, there are four PN houses and over 150 PN alumni. Project Neighborhood alumni — both former students and former mentors — are invited to gather and celebrate 10 years of God’s faithfulness in these intentional Christian communities.

Project Neighborhood Open Houses
February 9, 11:30-1:30
PN alumni, along with prospective students and members of the Calvin community, are invited to stop by any of the four PN houses. Come see how the program has developed over the past ten years and hear testimonies of students and mentors who have lived in the houses. Light refreshments will be served. No RSVP is required.

Individual House Re-Unions
February 9, 5:00-7:30 ($20 Cost)
Student and mentor alumni from Koinonia, Harambee and Peniel houses are invited to return to their PN houses for a dinner reunion. Take this opportunity to come back to your house, connect with old housemates, and share how your experience in Project Neighborhood has shaped your life after Calvin. Dinner will be catered by neighborhood restaurants.

Tickets for the dinners can be purchased online.
