Happy New Year!

Happy New Year! While 2020 was not the festive twentieth anniversary year we had planned, we rose to its unexpected challenges at work, joined with Black Lives Matter and others to examine our community values, and feel ready to take on 2021 with renewed energy and purpose!

Thank you for being a part of our community. Together, we can make 2021 a better year for everyone!
