From the Editor
One of the things I love most about publishing Cloverdale Connect is the people I meet, and their stories. Thanks to Michele Armanino, Cloverdale Connect is able to highlight some of these each month and there are literally thousands more in our community. Everyone has life stories filled with happiness and accomplishments and grief. It’s through sharing those stories that we find compassion, friendship and fellowship.
Recently we lost a very loved member of our community, Elizabeth (see page 19). So many people have been sharing personal stories about her and they are so touching. Share stories now with each other, before it’s too late. We all have a story. Show appreciation and love, always.
On a cautionary note, I am seeing numerous warnings about rattlesnakes this year, and yellow jackets, so be careful out there when you’re hiking our great trails.
I hope you’re enjoying a wonderful summer – I am!
I’ll see you around town!
