How We Think
“Money’s no good unless it contributes something to the community, unless it builds a bridge to a better life. Any man can make money, but it takes a special kind of man to use it responsibly.”
A.G. GASTON | Responsibility
“We are each other’s harvest, we are each other’s business, we are each other’s magnitude and bond.”
GWENDOLYN BROOKS | Collaboration
“Life’s most persistent and urgent question is, ‘What are you doing for others?’”
DR. MARTIN LUTHER KING, JR. | Community
“To move forward you have to give back.”
