My name is Melanie, and I’m 39 years old. This year, I’ll hit the big 4-0. It’s a big number – a remarkable year… to be, as they say “over the hill…” dare I say, “middle aged.” But for me, this milestone isn’t just remarkable, it’s extraordinary.
We’re excited to share our refreshed identity, including a new logo, colors and tagline that reflect who we are and how we serve our community.
