Many people still don't know exactly what Goodwill does for the community. We are trying to pair local faces with our mission.

The message is that the D.C. City Council is not trying to judge our community. It's not trying to make this a moral issue. I think they're being very open with the equality.

That is really discouraging to us as an executive committee because we are trying to represent what the community wants.

Cooper Lighting has a history of community goodwill and generous corporate citizenship. We were pleased to participate in this project for such a well- deserved family.

We're trying to do a lot of things to bring all aspects of the community together. People can come here to practice, hear another band and decide to come see their show.

I'm a big fan of Goodwill; they're good people.
