Be kind.  Be positive.  Be strong.  Be safe.

 The United Way/Missouri State Way campaign is happening now.  As a leadership donor to the United Way I want to encourage you to make a contribution.  United Way makes a difference in our community. This showcases what our partners accomplished during COVID: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lm4Dll3bTUY
