Logo
Why a rope? Our logo design incorporates our belief that as a community we are stronger than we are as individuals.

"The idea of a rope -- individual fibers braided together to make a stronger whole -- inspired this design. The same principle applies in a community: many individuals and groups working together to do what cannot be done alone. The Community Foundation provides a "rope" for this area, enabling projects and furthering creative ideas that might unravel without community help and support."
– Pamela Harris, Designer
