    Dear Heron Creek Community Foundation Members:

    Thank you for your ongoing support of the ​Foundation.  When I first moved here, I looked for a non-profit organization to ​which I could ​volunteer my time. When I found out there was a ​F​oundation in my own development, creating positive and sustainable change in my community, I signed up immediately.  I hope each one of you felt the same way when you joined.  It is an honor and a privilege to serve the foundation as a Director, Vice President and now President.
