A Note from our Executive Director
Dear Lori,
I was listening to Joan Baez sing Forever Young the other day and these lyrics resonated with me, “May you always do for others and let others do for you.” I think those lyrics exemplify what LEAP means to me, and what it means to be in community. We are a social service organization. We are always “doing for others.” For those of us in the helping professions, we get tremendous joy from, well, helping.
I am proud of all the ways we at LEAP help our community. We care for children. We wrap our arms around our families to support them in times of stress. We partner with our colleagues for the benefit of the community. Equally, we experience joy when we allow others to do for us.
At the LEAP Awards, I experienced a profound sense of well-being knowing that you are there to support us as well. Seeing your words of encouragement, your cheering on our honorees, your love means the world to all of us at LEAP.
LEAP is more than 50 years old. But, we will always do for others and let others do for us, and we will stay Forever Young.
Lori Goodman
Executive Director
