Guiding Principles

Every action, decision, direction we choose must meet the following criteria:

  • Is it helpful, educative, supportive, and of course fun.
  • Are we minimizing our footprint while maximizing our positive impact?
  • Are we as a staff participating in monthly community outreach?
  • Do we offer the client something in a way no one else does?
  • Healthy relationships first, business second.
