2015 was a very busy year for us and we are excited about our progress. We have no growth plans on the horizon, but want to make sure we have enough staff to be a leader and a catalyst in the communities we serve. Claudette has joined our team as Communications Assistant and works behind the scenes to better support our sponsors. We are also adding one more staff member in January- so stay tuned to the About Us page of our website for new faces.

Legacy

"The best way to be missed when your gone is to stand for something when you're here."
- Seth Godin

The past year I have lost several friends and I miss them and their insight. But- I am often surprised at how everyone appears to move on. I often wander if I will make a big enough difference and will I be missed for more than a brief fleeting moment. My grandfather passed away more than 20 years ago and I still reference him and look to our time together for advice . He made a difference. What will you be remembered for?   - Amy
