 Our Community Foundation gains inspiration from the powerful hopes and dreams of so many generous donors who work with us to achieve charitable goals.  Motivated community members can make magic happen. Your influence and enthusiasm in building and deploying community assets can activate others to do likewise.  Excitement, hopefulness and positivity all help us enhance our communities.  Thank you for celebrating with us on September 17, 2019
