Understand your local ordinances and regulations as they relate to historic properties.

Sponsor a neighborhood preservation workshop.

Connect with other groups that have overlapping interests (e.g., art deco societies, local historical societies, fraternal organizations, etc.).

Sponsor a rephotography project (find historic photographs of your neighborhood, then take photos today from the same locations and show the images side-by-side so people can see how the community has changed, or not).
