Hi folks,
Thought I woudl share an idea for meeting more neighbours. I am distributing flyers to 370 homes in my immediate neighbourhood inviting everyone to breakfast in our backyard! Here's the flyer. I'll let you know the turnout and go ahead and imitate and/or share other ways you have met people in your community.
Cheers,
Hilary
Helping Connect Neighbours!
Dear Neighours,
As I have walked around our leafy neighbourhood and had chats with many people, I am struck by how friendly everyone is! I also notice that most of us know very few people in the direct community, even those living a few doors down!
Our neighbourhood, like other mature communities in Oakville, is experiencing on-going transition. While several original owners still live here, new families are moving in every day. Some neighbourhoods have community events that bring people together. We would like to invite you to what we hope will be one of other gatherings that help us build a greater sense of community, right here where we live.
Event: Informal Backyard Breakfast Potluck
Date: Saturday July 7, 2007
Time: 9:30 a.m. - 12 Noon
Where: ******
Dress: Come as you are...
We will provide coffee, tea, juice, toaster, jam, butter, utensils, paper products, and name tags. Please feel free to bring something to contribute to "the breakfast table". If you don't have anything on hand to bring, come anyway, as there will likely be more than enough to go around. Suggestions: fresh fruit, bagels, muffins, danishes, croissants, coffee cake, granola, yoghurt, bread. Please bring your own favourite coffee mug!
Sincerely,
Wayne and Hilary Shantz
