COMMUNITY
I firmly believe that strong communities, coupled with strong families, are the fabric of our nation. One problem I see with technology and the connections it brings is that it reduces people's connections in their local community, and it is becoming increasingly common that many of us do not even know our neighbors.
Some of the community events that I host, sponsor, or have been involved with include:
-
Taco Tuesday events during the summer months
-
Neighborhood pickleball
-
Dances for couples or families
-
Constitution Day Commemoration Events
-
Foosball competition
