Inspired by the story of the starfish, but with a twist. Most of us are familiar with the story of the starfish, penned by Loren Eisley. The abridged version goes, \u201cOne day, a man was strolling along the beach when he spotted a boy tossing a starfish back into the ocean. Approaching the boy, he inquired, \u201cWhat are you doing?\u201d The boy responded, “If I don\u2019t throw them back, they\u2019ll die.\u201d \u201cSon,\u201d the man said, \u201cdon\u2019t you realize there are miles and miles of beach and thousands of starfish? You can\u2019t make a difference!\u201d The boy stooped down, picked up another starfish, and flung it back into the surf. Then, he said\u2026\u201d I made a difference for that one.\u201d<\/p>
\n\t\t\t<\/p>Imagine those starfish as our kids in school or those parents who can\u2019t find childcare. And instead of one child, the entire community is on the beach, united in the effort to throw starfish back into the sea. We can make a difference together on these issues that will \u201cStrengthen our Community.”<\/p>
