In the aftermath of Super Storm Sandy, we were immediately reminded of how each of us belongs to a much larger community. This time, we were spared the terrible damages and extended power outages that many of our friends and relatives to our south suffered. However, through the efforts of our Local Board of Realtors and others, we were able to reach out & offer our help. A young Chatham man, Jonathan, & his girl friend Trisha, volunteered their time and van to drive down to Staten Island to deliver a cargo of food, supplies, clothing and blankets to folks who had lost so much. Despite the hectic pace of our own lives, it’s at times like this when we seem to be at our best, when the needs of others rise above those of our own. So no matter where we choose to live, when tragedy strikes amongst some of us, others are there to help.
