Today's Friends of the Grove event was a resounding success!
So many people showed up despite the cool damp weather. Here are just a few photos from today. Will write more in an upcoming post.
In the meantime just want to say how very proud I am of my community.
Newton, the centre of this city, has a whole lot of heart and soul and some very cool people.

We all had a chance to learn how to silk screen!

| Little girls coming from ballet class stopped by and got creative. We saw lots of tutus today. Ballet class appears to be very popular at the Newton rec centre. |

| Two of the first arriving . They got straight to work creating happy drawings on the trees. And they did it in ballet tutus! |

Neighbours and new friends sharing ideas on what they'd like to see happen in this lovely green area.

Yes, it's true. Newton is the true heart of Surrey.
And today, that heart is full of love for our community. |
Well Done Friends of the Grove, and all those who volunteered their time, energy and love for our fellow humans.
This is just the start of a whole new vibe in the neighbourhood.
