Community Economics
In this and future blog posts, we will tackle and discuss the issue of economics and its impact in our community.

As the largest consumers, if all we earn is spent outside of the community, how can we sustain? Even if you have left the community, or moved outside of the immediate area, visit and seize opportunities to give back. Be intentional.
