  23. GOT RELATIONSHIPS? If not, let us help!

  24. What we take with us Jackie Tammy Jen Jaimie Connie Holly I’ve learned to focus on building relationships within the community rather than just getting out in the community I’ve learned that the services I provide shouldn’t be about quantity but quality! Everyone has something about them that shines. I’m determined to find that something and make it shine even brighter! Everyone has friends. We just help connect them and create opportunities! Not connecting is not an option! We need to get out of the way of ourselves and let individuals lead us!
