While we are still processing the implications of the presidential election, our community has received a record number of supporters wanting to volunteer their time, talents, and resources. Regardless of the political realities facing us now, we will continue working for the values that make America great -- justice, diversity, equality and liberty for all. "Sometimes God selects a people and puts a burden on them, not to destroy them but so they can do something magnificent.
