The Bell Springs Volunteer Fire Department Benefit was a great success indeed! It takes a village, and I’m so thrilled to be part of the community, to work together to raise needed funds and to have a great time doing it! There is so much joy in gathering, in shared effort, and it reminds me of what I value and how I want to be in the world.
