Any community group that has five or six people can call the Board of Education's office and set up for us to come hold an information session, or people can call to find out where they can attend an information session.

I've never seen such a caring community. Anytime we run one of these funds, the response is almost overwhelming. It's one of the things that sets this community apart.

I think everyone in this office believes in improving the lives of people in our community and the people around us. That is something I am very passionate about, helping those who wouldn't otherwise be served. ... Everyone should be entitled to this representation.

People can call their solid waste district or community office, or an urban forester in the parks and recreation department if they have one, to see if a chipping program is available in their area.

we were hoping we would get some local interest from people who already knew . . . and were known in the community.

Community members can drop off their donations at our front office. The American Legion has agreed to pay some of the shipping costs and the Student Council officers are working on soliciting businesses for their assistance as well.
