Dear Beloved Readers,

As we welcome the month of June, our hearts turn with gratitude and admiration to the incredible dads and father figures in our community. Whether by birth, choice, or circumstance, these men shape lives with strength, love, and guidance. We honor you this month and thank you for the steady presence you provide. While we don’t have a full Father’s Day feature in this issue, we hope you enjoy the special recipe included just for you, along with this small but sincere note of appreciation.

We’re also thrilled to shine a bright light on the Class of 2025 in this issue! Our graduates have worked hard, grown in character, and are now stepping into a new chapter full of potential. You’ll see their faces and stories throughout these pages—we’re proud to celebrate them alongside their families and the community cheering them on.

We’d like to extend a big thank-you to Ashleigh Wine & Sake Lounge, who graciously hosted our first five Stroll Social Hours. Their hospitality helped create the warm, welcoming atmosphere we’ve loved so much. While we’re taking a break from Social Hour in June, we’re mixing things up for July in an exciting way!

Join us Thursday, July 10th from 5:00–6:30 PM at LOMA, an all-ages venue that opens the door for more neighbors to attend. We encourage everyone—from longtime residents to new faces—to stop by and enjoy the connection and community spirit.

We’re also hosting a Restaurant Review on Tuesday, July 27th from 6:00–7:30 PM. Seating is limited to 12 people, so RSVP quickly if you’d like to join us!

Of course, none of this would be possible without the generous support of our Business Partners. From our Founding Partners to the newest additions, they make Stroll Pinnacle possible. We hope you’ll support them in return—whether by using their services, spreading the word, or simply thanking them when you see their names in our pages.

And in exciting news—Stroll Shadow Valley now has a publication of its own, led by Darrell Faircloth. While I’m not managing it myself, we’re already planning to collaborate on some joint events in the future. If you or someone you know would like to advertise with Shadow Valley, feel free to reach out to me directly and I’ll help make the connection.

Wishing you a June filled with meaningful celebrations and community connections.

With love,
Heather
