Unity in Action: From Doorsteps to Dance Floors
Hey, it's Ry.
Happy weekend. Friday was truly a great day.
Hit the streets and knocked on doors, and the enthusiasm was palpable. Two of my most dedicated volunteers reported having their best day ever – and considering they've been out there with the people for weeks, reaching around 1500 houses, that's saying something!
Later, I had a meaningful discussion with our Camas Police Officers. Catered by the most incredible macarons handmade by another lovely volunteer. After a training day, we delved into their needs and brainstormed creative solutions for the city and community to better support and appreciate our invaluable force.
The day was rounded off at the HighGLOWeen event with Mission Fit Camas. Even in Natalie's absence, the group of incredible women there welcomed me wholeheartedly. After some energetic dancing, we paused to discuss the importance of civic participation and why voting in this election matters.
Observing such groups bridge divides between those who've lived here all their lives and those who've recently arrived truly warmed my heart. It’s moments and connections like these that remind me: when community spirit meets collaborative energy, we set the foundation for a thriving, unified city.
❤️Ry
One more reminder that we’ll be at Acorn & The Oak this Sunday 11am-12pm. And then rain or shine we’ll be out there again knocking on neighbors’ doors.
