Well, would you look at that? We’ve spent another wonderful year together! Living as neighbors, working as colleagues, and sharing joy as one big community. We’ve welcomed new friends, opened new doors, adapted to new challenges–and we did it all together. Because that’s just the sort of neighborhood this is. Ravenswood, there’s so much to be proud of.

That’s why it’s an honor to announce our Annual Member Mixer & Best of Ravenswood Awards!

Join us at Rojo Gusano to meet and celebrate fellow business owners, non-profit leaders, and community members! We’ll also be unveiling the recipients of the 2025 Best of Ravenswood Awards and celebrating this year’s successes. This is a great opportunity to connect with GRCC’s staff and PR team, learn more about our work in the community, and share ideas for the year to come.

Space for the event is limited! Tickets include admission, small bites from Rojo Gusano, and a specialty welcome drink. One lucky attendee will win a pair of tickets to our Ravenswood x Andersonville Holiday Mixer in December!

Registration closes on Tuesday, November 11th at 12pm.
