My ward goes to great efforts to label every ward-sponsored event as a "neighborhood" event.
Of course this is done in the name of inclusiveness. But in my mind there is always an undercurrent of "we need to invite those who are less enlightened, in the hopes that one day they might join us."
We had such an activity tonight. Most of the people there are decent enough folks. But out of 100 or so, I saw three people who I didn't recognize as active members. I'm not sure who they were, but it's clear the efforts to expand the activities to the whole "neighborhood" are not catching on.
