  From the Desk of Our President Kim MacGregor

  Hello All!

  I hope you are doing well.  This has sure been a difficult year. We will get through this together. Please check on your neighbors and friends.  Depression is a common occurrence during times like these. Give someone your smile and it will make the world a better place. I don't know about you but I am tired of the fighting, arguing and just plain meanness out there. Let's do our part to be kind. We can disagree on certain subjects and still get along. Imagine how boring a place it would be if we didn't disagree!! But we can do it in a respectful manner.
