Tom,

You are such a wonderful organizer and thoughtful leader for the valley. Your event yesterday at the UU church was not only fun first of all, it was time to really connect with people who care about the valley and its people, health, culture and community. What a blessing it was all day see what our communities can look like into the future- beautiful!
