Hey Neighbor

We’ve got your Wednesday dinner plans made (and 10% of proceeds get donated to Hey Neighbor!)

Hey Neighbor! Did you know that studies have shown that knowing as few as six neighbors reduces loneliness, creates friendships and fosters inclusivity, cultivates safety through cooperation and much more?!
🏡🫶🏽
Join us this Wednesday, June 17 from 3-9pm as we proudly host (formerly CONO) for Community Constellations. 10% of ALL in-cafe sales will be donated back to this neighborhood-focused, local non-profit that inspires neighbors to create vibrant communities. Hey Neighbor helps facilitate neighborhood gatherings and networking opportunities among neighbors and community leaders, and the funds raised at Community Constellations will help support their campaign to raise $1.5 million over the next 3 years to expand their reach and help inspire more neighbors to create vibrant communities!

Excited to speak at the ENGAGE! conference about the importance of knowing your neighbors!

🎤 Meet Our Keynote Speakers for ENGAGE! Learning More, Living Well!

This year's opening keynote will explore the theme: 👉 Connected, Capable, and Thriving — Aging Well in Colorado Springs. We're honored to welcome two inspiring community leaders whose work reflects the power of connection, purpose, and lifelong engagement.

Nancy Henjum, Colorado Springs City Councilmember, District 5, has dedicated her career to strengthening communities through leadership development, behavioral health, civic engagement, and public service. Through her work as a clinical therapist, executive coach, community volunteer, and elected leader, Nancy has spent decades helping individuals and organizations thrive.

Joining her is Kelly Bull, Executive Director of Hey Neighbor, a nonprofit dedicated to helping neighbors build meaningful relationships and stronger communities. Kelly's journey from designing sustainable landscapes to cultivating social connections has reinforced her belief that healthy communities are built when people come together, care for one another, and invest in the places they call home.

Together, Nancy and Kelly will kick off ENGAGE! with a conversation about what it means to remain connected, capable, and thriving as we age. Their message will highlight the importance of community, belonging, purpose, and the opportunities that exist for all of us to continue learning, contributing, and living well.

Heather Brigg’s breakfast block party in Mid Shooks Run was a blast, and is one of the first events of many to come for our 150 Tables Across COS initiative! Liv Wood at KOAA 5 captured the magic of what happens when neighbors get together!

With 28 tables registered so far, will you help us reach our goal of 150 by October?
