The mothers hand delivered care packages to our retired Veterans to show their appreication of service. Kim Baker Executive Director February is a month that people relate flowers, chocolate, and romance to. Of course, all these things are great. But instead, I'm thinking friendship, family, and community. We all need to really consider support, love, and consideration as a part of our daily lives. I want to show my support and partnership to my families so we can grow as a community. Maybe this isn't a traditional Valentine's greeting but I hope I can reach out and really change an outlook on just materialistic things. I hope everyone enjoys this festive month.
