Sense of Place
• Tied to our social commitment• Connect people to “preceding
generations” • In our age of on-demand entertainment
we are often connected to other things rather than what’s around us. There is a reason we silence our cell phones during the play and it is not just so we don’t bug the actors. It creates presence within us.

“This is a place to discuss what we have done well, where we have fallen short, and how we can do better. It is a place for coming together and appreciating how we differ and examining how very much we share.” - Archibald

Share, Learn, Connect
Someday, sometime, the people next door will be important. We need our neighbors. We should not wait for a disaster to learn their names.
“People create places, and places make people. And that’s what makes a culture.” - Archibald
