As a community we are only strong when we work together and lean on each other. To do this we rely on leaders and supporters within the community. Some hold formal positions others are our quiet heroes. Thanks to those who work for our community in both paid and unpaid positions. It is due to the concerted work of the community that we have as many facilities and services as we do. This page outlines some of the awards given to people who have more than “given back”.
Huge Congratulations To Anna Christensen
