This week my neighbor had the misfortune of falling off a ladder, resulting in serious, painful injuries. Once 911 was called, several first responders started appearing to assess my neighbor and begin the process of getting her to a hospital. I was immediately struck at the realization that these first responders were indeed my Stevensville neighbors, volunteering their time to serve our community. There can’t be a better way to show kindness in the world than to volunteer to be a first responder! Thank you to each and every one of you in our midst. You are a gift to all of us.
