Welcome to the November Newsletter
It's the month of Thanksgiving and there is so much that we have to be thankful for! First, we thank the men and women who have served our nation and fought for our freedom. We honor them this month and will always remember the sacrifices they have made in the name of safety and freedom.
November can also be a good time to look at what we have to offer our community. There is a well-known saying, "It takes a village." When we all work together to fill the gaps and help each other, our community can be optimized. Our many business associations, volunteer committees, and community partners work hard on a daily basis to ensure that our community is the best it can possibly be - and for that we are ever thankful.
Did you know there is a national movement happening right now in Union County? It's called the Union County Neighbor to Neighbor (UCN2N) organization. They are looking for volunteers like YOU!
Their objective is "to establish an innovative organization that will enhance lives of residents across Union County." To l
earn more about UCN2N visit their
Facebook
or
website.
Whether your passion is serving our community or growing your business - please remember to take some time to reflect on life's many blessings.
