help create a healthy, sustainable, kinder community, now and in the future. By
working with local non-profit and outreach groups, schools, charity programs and
individuals, through donations and hands on charity work. I believe that our work

| Making a difference in the community. |
and message of hope will inspire you to reach out to these resources whether you are in need or
would like to donate time or money.
My theory on giving.....If we take the approximate population of Eugene/Springfield at 150,000
and each of those people donated one hour a month of their time to help out in the community.
Whether it be helping a neighbor, the school closest to them, cleaning a park or natural
environment or helping an non-profit organization, just one hour a month will end up with 150,000
hours of community out reach. That ends up equalling 208 people volunteering 24 hours a day in
one month. All it takes is one hour a month! Share this philosophy with your friends.
