CONNECTING PEOPLE. BUSINESSES. COMMUNITIES
We're Christine Santori and David Saunders, the people behind Community Stroll.
​
As local entrepreneurs with deep roots in Ridgefield, Connecticut, we believe the strongest communities are built through meaningful relationships.
​
We love discovering the people, businesses, events and experiences that make our towns special. Even better, we love sharing those discoveries with others. That's what Community Stroll is all about.
​
BECAUSE TO US, IT'S NOT JUST ABOUT DISCOVERING LOCAL BUSINESSES. IT'S ABOUT BUILDING CONNECTIONS WITHIN OUR COMMUNITY.
Our Story
A HOMETOWN TRADITION. A NEW WAY TO CONNECT.
It started with a simple idea: Make every new neighbor feel welcome. For generations, welcoming new residents has been a cherished tradition. In Ridgefield, Connecticut, Dee and Joe Strilowich carried that tradition forward, building lasting relationships by introducing newcomers to local businesses and the people behind them.
​
After Joe passed away in 2017, Dee continued the tradition. In 2019, she entrusted the business to us, Christine Santori and David Saunders, to carry on what she and Joe had built. We were honored to continue their legacy.
​
But we also saw an opportunity to take those connections further.
What began as a traditional New Resident Welcome Service has evolved into Community Stroll, a hometown discovery platform connecting residents, businesses and communities through local stories, events, special PERKS, email, social media, video and more.
​
The tools have changed, but the heart of what we do hasn't.
​
IT'S STILL ABOUT INTRODUCTIONS. IT'S STILL ABOUT RELATIONSHIPS.
THE WELCOME IS ONLY THE BEGINNING​
Your Community. Your Connections.
Whether you're new to town, a longtime resident, or a local business owner, there's always something new to discover.
​
We're here to help you explore your community, connect with the people and businesses around you, and feel more at home wherever you live.
​
We look forward to connecting with you!
Christine & David
