Community
Each and every one of us has the ability to create real change within our community. We all have a gift ready to be shared with the world and others that are waiting to benefit from its unique ability. Celebrating our community servants, organizations and local families gives us an opportunity to connect with others, engage in our neighborhoods and inspire others to change the world in which we live every day.
Together we have strengthened our community!
