I'm up here to show the community we can raise money for needy people.

The main thing we want to do with the store is turn it into a community resource for people who play games.

This is really about helping rebuild a community and have people not just give money, but goods and services. This is not a short-range, but a long-range project.

Some people out in the community have requested this meeting to find out where the tax money is going and it will give us a chance to calm some rumors. There are people with the impression there is a monster out there gobbling up the additional money, but there's not. The price of services is just increasing.

A lot of local merchants come out as sponsors or are donating items. Everyone in the community is welcome.

A person can recover their lives. They can live full, healthy lives in the community and independently.
