Strathcona Event Promotion

by Lee

There is always a lot going on in Strathcona and in life. Back in May, this blog started with the greatest of intentions to share the love for the Strathcona neighbourhood. Some posts were managed, though not very many. I can imagine that most Realtors are running around far from computers and find little time left available to write or post anything. So what now?

LiveInStrathcona.com is what now.

It's all about who you know. A Strathcona neighbour shows Rick a new way of doing things. Rick gets excited. It is after all about his neighbourhood and neighbours, and for his neighbourhood and neighbours. So Rick the Realtor, and Riel the tech-enigma create a beautiful thing.

Last week the LiveInStrathcona.com extended an invitation to the Strathcona Resident's Association (SRA) to utilize the site to promote and communicate to the Strathcona area residents. I love it when business recognizes the value in supporting community. What better example.

SRA was hosted by Gaff Gallery, thanks Gabriel, and SWARM was mentioned. An arts event with Gaff Gallery also one of the significant venues on the event schedule. It was unfortunate that we still had some kinks and bugs to work out as the final components of the site were coming together. Otherwise, we would have loved to promote the Strathcona, East Vancouver, and Gaff Gallery event. We're almost there now, and are we ever excited!!

Gaff Gallery let us know what a huge hit the SWARM event was and also notified us of a fundraiser event coming in October. We're watching now to see how well Gabriel is able to add the event to the Strathcona Events Forum. I'm calling it user testing. ;)

We'll have more for you soon, and if you have an event you would like to promote, let us know! This site is for everyone in Strathcona.
