I'm looking forward to 2013! There are so many people on Bowen who are thinking about how to strengthen our community, and are taking action to do exactly that.
Some are trying to figure out how to build financial sustainability for their groups and organizations. Some have ideas to fill much needed gaps in our community support systems.
Some want to contribute financially. Some want to contribute their skills. Some want to create opportunities for conversations about how our organizations can work together more effectively.
The Bowen Island Community Foundation is eager to be a part of all of this, and proud to be a member of such a vibrant community.
So, my wish for 2013 is that we, as a community, support those who want to make a difference and who have the dreams along with the energy and commitment to fulfill their dreams. They are all possible with a little work and a lot of trust in one another.
Happy New Year!
