In the words of Chief Seattle as quoted by our Board President, Tony Morelli in his opening remarks: "Humankind has not woven the web of life. We are but one thread within it. Whatever we do to the web, we do to ourselves. All things are bound together. All things connect."

We are grateful for each of you and the positive impact you leave on the organization and those we serve! 💖
