Joanne Klee Marketing: October 2016

As a family we frequently visit the small towns and communities surrounding our favorite hiking spots. These charming towns take us back to a time when neighbors knew each other, people stopped in front of the local market to chat, and and overall slower pace to the day.

I don't think these are days gone by, instead I really feel we need to manage our time and organize our priorities to create that type of lifestyle once again. Clearly the leisurely pace won't happen everyday, all the time. But occasionally I will feel I am living a glimpse of it, I make a point to observe the moments in action and soak up every drop.

On one of our family getaways I came across a beautiful hand made cloth banner with an image of a classic main street in small town America, and the following guide "How to Build a Community." Truly, stopped me in my tracks, for days.

Hearing his eye-witness account helps me know the money is not spent hap-hazardly. Specifically on this trip HE WILL give medical care to help the 100,000 left displaced and in dire need of care after Hurricane Matthew. He came home from his first trip, sharing with us at Sunday dinner, the extreme poverty conditions he witnessed.

When one family member asked "how were their homes affected?" He replied "what homes? They are shacks, made of cardboard and metal. It is not this, not brick and siding, what WE call home."
