Sunday, July 30th, 2023, All Day Event
World Friendship Day, also known as International Day of Friendship takes place on July 30th each year. The original idea of a day of friendship came from Hallmark cards in the 1930's. Originally celebrated on August 2nd, the day was largely viewed cynically by the public as a money making exercise. Sales of friendship day cards did not take off in Europe and by the mid-1940's the day had faded in to obscurity in the U.S. The idea of a day to honor friendship was, however, adopted by a number of countries in Asia where it remained a poplar custom to reserve a day for celebrating friendships and the exchange of gifts between friends.
Today and every day, we all value the true friendships that we make throughout our lives. Friends do come and go, but those that we bond best with tend to stick around. The Staff and Board of Directors for the Sonoma Verde Community would like to say thank you for your friendship and support as we work together to build an awesome and friendly community right here in the heart of Rockwall, Texas!
