“Ultimately it  comes down to continuing to look at how we function best as a community. In those regards, whether you're volunteering, or serving at the professional level in your town or region, it’s all an expression of caring. A tangible expression of - we do better when we work together. I think that's an important message this time of year, and especially for these last few years.” 

-John Dalzell
