We build things.  On the hub, we build groups of people who share a common interest of greater financial security.  In the spokes, we build other things. We build knowledge and skills which builds self-esteem and self-confidence.  Along with this, we build hope and optimism that people can live a better future by simply participating in a Community Group that exists to steer people in a common direction. We aspire to the good and noble in constructing the elements that form our whole.

We seek to attract artists wanting and willing keep adding depth and color to their can...
