On this episode hear from an "older" member of the Verdigre Community Foundation Fund and a brand new member as host, Sheila Jenkinson, talks with Ruth Frank and Jeanette Mervicker. They share why they think it's important to realize things don't always have to stay the same, the beauty of community in a small town, why and how to get more involved in community building, and more!
