learning something new, meeting neighbors or simply enjoying time together, Sunriver residents found countless opportunities to connect this past year

an evening of music, food
and conversation.
Attendance and feedback

in maintaining the event as a
seasonal tradition.
In addition to programs

throughout the year, recognizing the vital role volunteers play
in sustaining Sunriver’s events
and activities.
The committee’s popular
daffodil bulb sale also continued, adding seasonal color
across neighborhoods and
reinforcing a shared sense of
pride in the community.
