Wholeness out of diversity in age, race, national origin, political outlook, hobbies, careers, education, wellness . . . the list goes on. From all these differences, one community, living together, not apart. Working together, too. To make things better for the kids and for each other. The schools that reach out to families, churches that band together to support the less fortunate, civic organizations that build playgrounds, funds raised for scholarships, discarded goods converted to money for improved health; so many causes; so many good things, produced by groups for individual “others.”
America In Bloom—volunteers working to beautify Warrenville, one yard at a time, one store at a time, one block at a time. Flowers with color and volume that boost our spirits and appreciation of our surroundings.
The Chamber of Commerce that toils to help community businesses succeed, even if they aren’t a member.
Our city officials and staff, who work to make it all work.
The Warrenville Hospitality Association collecting donations for St. Irene’s Food Pantry or building donations for WYFS.
The Historical Society that works to preserve our town’s history and along the way builds lasting appreciation for and pride in the uniqueness that is Warrenville.
The homeowner association boards who volunteer their hard work to maintain healthy neighborhoods.
The volunteers who feed our interest in the arts, classic automobiles, good food, nature conservation, environmental concerns.
And yes, Friends of the Fourth, a volunteer group that has produced the fun and excitement of Warrenville’s family-friendly Fourth of July celebration for years. Two days of community togetherness, pride and celebration. But work that lasts the yearlong to make it all happen.
To them and to all the volunteers who make Warrenville such a strong and healthy community: Thanks for giving us even more to celebrate!
And thank you for helping keep Warrenville a community of strength to contribute to our national heritage of strength.
E Pluribus Unum. One From Many.
