As we embrace the joy and warmth of the holiday season, we celebrate the diversity of traditions that make this time of year special for everyone. We encourage all to share and enjoy the unique customs and celebrations they bring, enriching our community with their spirit. At the same time, we recognize that this season can be challenging for some, and we ask everyone to approach these moments with kindness and respect, fostering a welcoming and inclusive atmosphere for all. This evening, we honor the beauty of the Festival of Lights as we illuminate our breezeway, a reminder of hope, connection, and the light we bring to one another during this special time.
