Did you know? Every year, hundreds of new families move to the River Region and we meet them right at their front door! We’ve been making people feel at home for over 20 years, and this year we will reach 10,000 front porch greetings!
Know the Community was founded in 2006 to help newcomers to the Montgomery Area discover all of its history, rich culture, and friendly neighbors. With over 25 private schools and several public school options, the KtC guide serves to help new movers get their families plugged in to their River Region community.
The founder, Pam Mashburn, has experienced numerous relocations, including one overseas to Frankfurt, Germany. While an expatriate in Germany, she was an active member of the American Women’s Club, helping new members feel more comfortable in their new surroundings by providing advice, referrals, and help with maneuvering German society. Upon returning, Pam continued this outreach in the US, leading to the formation of Know the Community and a welcome wagon-type service called Warm Welcome Montgomery!
We’ve been doling out warm welcomes since 2006, with the help of local stay-at-home moms and retired school teachers. Our goal is to help newcomers find useful information that locals already “know” to help ease the transition to a new hometown. This summer, we will hit a MAJOR milestone by greeting our 10,000th family to the River Region! Please join us on this journey as we help build community one warm welcome at a time!
