a note from Shirley
I humbly come to you... thankful and optimistic about this opportunity to rebuild and reestablish the power of the village. I’m excited to think that we can truly be “One Nation Under God”. We believe that this campaign can be the change that we’ve been looking for. We know that your community already possesses what it needs to address any issue you have. We hope to take advantage of this opportunity to bring the pieces together... to build and strengthen the spirit of cooperation and unity that will positively affect this generation and many generations to come.
Grace & Peace,
