Days like this remind us that love isn’t just something we feel—it’s something we do: sharing a meal, cheering a neighbour, helping a child tie a race ribbon, welcoming new faces, and thanking those who serve our region. Together, we turned a picnic into belonging. Love is a verb!

Guests arrived with blankets and chairs in hand, found their spots in the GRFS backyard, and settled in for a heartfelt evening. Laughter, awe, and pride filled the air as the film brought Naim’s journey to life. Free popcorn, tea, and coffee made the night even cozier, reminding us how the simplest comforts bring people closer together.

Because at GRFS, we believe that Love is a Verb — it lives in every smile shared, every chair offered, and every story told together.
