Happy National Good Neighbor Day, Colorado Springs! 💛 The Mayor proclaimed today in honor of the small things that make a big difference. Swipe through the proclamation, then take one step this week. Knock on a door. Learn a name. Ask “How are you doing?” Tag a neighbor who makes your street feel like home!

A big thank you to Springs Magazine for such a great article about our 150 Tables Across COS initiative! We hope you'll read it and be inspired to host and register your own table! We've seen breakfast block parties, Mexican buffets, and ice cream socials so far. Tell us in the comments what kinds of tables you would like to host or be invited to.

People should know their neighbors. Here’s how Hey Neighbor is hosting 150 Tables Across COS to bring people together.

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.

📅 June 27, 2026
📍 Colorado Springs Senior Center
🎟️ Tickets are just $25 and include your choice of three educational classes, a boxed lunch, beverages, access to community resources, and a full day of learning, connection, and inspiration.

Because aging well isn't just about adding years to life—it's about staying connected to the people, places, and purpose that help us thrive.
