    "We have a "BookLESS Club" open to all Bloomington women. It is like a book club but there is no book - we just get together at each other's homes or community events and make friends and have a good time developing friendships. It has been a great way to meet neighbors and make new friends. "

    "It’s a nice, quiet neighborhood and you can walk your dog without worrying about a lot of traffic. Neighbors are always out in their yards so it’s very easy to meet people. We do have a Fox in the neighborhood and have had coyotes in the past. There are also bald eagles around as well as hawks. If you have a small dog or cat you won’t want to leave them outside by themselves. There have been a few dogs and cats that have been taken. "
