Report to the Community Released
at 2008 Celebration
of Service

It is time, once again, to make our annual report to the community. As we contemplate the successes of the past year, it is more than awe-inspiring to consider the many individuals and groups within our community that devote their time, talents and resources to help propel us toward our community’s goals, which is to create lasting, permanent changes in people’s lives so that problems are prevented from happening in the first place.

We are deeply appreciative to all who have caught the vision of our community action plan. Creating long-lasting social change requires everyone in the community working together. We all win when a child succeeds in school, when a family becomes financially stable, and when people have access to good health benefits. Read the full article...
