Our family would like to sincerely thank the Campbell River Community Foundation and Neighbourhood Small Grants for supporting us with this year’s block party. We’re happy to share that it was another great success. 72 neighbours joined us this past weekend!
The event brought so many smiles, meaningful conversations, and new connections. We truly couldn’t have done it without your support, and we’re very grateful to be part of a program that helps bring communities closer together.
Here are just a few of the wonderful responses we’ve received so far:
“Dear Karen, Graeme, and Kona,
Just wanted to thank you for another wonderful get-together with the neighbors. It was really enjoyable, the weather was perfect, and there were some great goodies. I had to smuggle one of those cupcakes home! Bob enjoyed it too until his funny little anti-social self had enough and he had to retire! It is such a huge job to organize such an event, and our neighborhood is lucky to have someone who actually does all the work of doing it.
Many thanks once again – all the best from Adrian, Caren, and Bob.”
“Thanks again for the fabulous get-together. We enjoyed meeting new people, chatting with the neighbours, and eating the delicious food.
Well done to you both!
Cheers,
Laurel & Shaun”
“Thanks for the invite to your block party. I enjoyed it. Got to know some of the ones we see on their walks a bit better and had some great conversations. We do live in an awesome neighborhood.
Thank you both for taking the time to organize the party.”
” Graeme and Karen, the host/hostess with the mostest! Thank you for throwing a fabulous neighborhood party. We know a lot of work went into it, and you are appreciated. I come away realizing just how blessed we are to have such good people around us. We are reminded of what special neighbors we have.
Now relax! 👏👏👏”
