Community

A good community is one where neighbors take pride in their living environment, respecting and supporting one another regardless of age, gender, race or creed.

A good community is a cohesive, safe, confident, prosperous and happy place. It is free of poverty and crime, providing a high quality of life for everyone that lives there.  It values and promotes open, participative development processes underpinned by a continuous culture of trans-generational learning.  This may seem a naïve and utopian idea, yet it is the vision that inspires and keeps us going.

 It is somewhere that people wish to stay in and see their children and grandchildren grow up in. It attracts, welcomes and respects outsiders, challenging ignorance and prejudice wherever it arises.

I believe we are blessed to live in a community that has many of these foundational building blocks.  Working together we can continue to create many more.

I invite you to join hands with me in this mission - Together we can make Carey a place we all want to live, work and play for many years to come!
