Laura moved to our neighborhood in 2006 and has called it home ever since. She heads up our mentoring program, Brain Boost, and Explosion. Her love of spreadsheets and to do lists keeps us organized, but she also loves to be active and create shared experiences. Her husband, Jeff, and dog, Wally, are also committed neighbors and top-notch volunteers!

Priscilla is a go getter who is passionate about empowering people to find their niche and recognize their gifts! She's always finding ways to grow in her faith and learn new skills, and she enjoys collaborating with and learning from other organizations. You'll often find Priscilla at the Community Center working with neighbors to plan activities or deliver welcome bags, and it's helpful that she lives right next door! There's a good chance you'll also meet her three sons if you hang around long enough. They love to attend and help out at activities in the neighborhood.
