Hello Summer! 

Our Community is buzzing as our weather heats up and the season of long days is upon us. The Yellowbird Board of Directors is looking forward to the next few months of fresh garden veggies and long walks around the neighbourhood. 

Despite the lightness of the season, right now there are many around the world and within our community who are facing challenges like never before. Our hope is to continue to build our community up to provide family fun, helpful services, and support to those we can reach. If you have ideas about how we can best achieve this goal, the Board would love to hear from you. We are always looking for new leaders within our community to join the Board or help with our initiatives. Please email vicepresident@yellowbirdcl.com to share your ideas or learn more about joining the Board.
We are over the moon to announce the dates and acts of our Outdoor Concert Series. These fantastic shows will take place at 7 PM at the Gazebo within our community garden. Find a seat among the garden beds or on the hill and enjoy some wonderful music. We have a number of dates locked in and expect to see a few more as the summer moves along. Hope to see you there!

Thanks to Jamie Davenport for this recipe for a delicious summer salad!
Summer House Salad Recipe
Step 1: Salad Ingredients  
·    2-3 cups romaine or red leaf lettuce, rinsed and torn. 
·    1 cup strawberries, halved
·    1 cup small broccoli
·    1/3 cup mint, chopped
·    2-3 green onions, finely chopped
·    ½ cup feta crumbled
·    Handful of hemp seeds or sunflower seeds
·    1 firm avocado, cut into small equal chunks
Step 2: Creamy Feta Dill Dressing Ingredients
·    1/3 cup plain yogurt
·    1/3 cup sour cream
·    1/3 cup mayo (not light)
·    1/3 feta cheese crumbled
·    Dash of dill (fresh is better)
·    2 tbsp of white vinegar
·    1 garlic clove
·    1 tbsp maple syrup
·    2 tbsp water
 
Combine dressing ingredients into a small food processor and blend until smooth. If you skip the water and vinegar, you get more a feta cheese dip. Spoon big dollops of this dressing over your salad and garnish fresh dill, mint or green onions. Toss to serve.
