Community Resrcs

"I have moments of real terror when I think we may be losing this generation. We have to bring these people into the active life of the community and make them feel necessary."

~Eleanor Roosevelt 1934

"Vital community: one in which all members of the community understand how what they do impacts the rest of the community."
