Message from the Executive Director
Rosemary Q. Steele

Taking meaningful action in your community isn't about grand gestures or having unlimited resources, it's about using what you have, where you are, to make a difference. Before we can truly make an impact, we need to understand the issues you care about.

"Do the best you can until you know better. Then when you know better, do better." this is a powerful quote by Maya Angelou. It's a reminder that we are all constantly learning and growing, and that it's important to take responsibility for our actions and make amends when we know better.

This quote encourages individuals to always strive for self-improvement and to make the best choices possible with the information and knowledge available to them at any given moment. It suggests that as we learn and grow, we should use that new knowledge and understanding to make better choices and improve upon our previous actions.

Families are being encouraged to attend the resident council meetings scheduled for Wednesday, June 18, 2025, so that we may all work together to create a better community environment. We need each other to make changes you would like to see!
