Guiding Thoughts of the Executive Committee to Develop Mission and Priorities: *   Looked at desires of the community, as expressed and recorded, at community meetings held in the summer of 2006 *   Listened to advice and guiding principles of Dr. Vaughn Grisham. *  Looked with a long-term vision to the future, but with a due respect of realities of the community, time, and money. *  Operating on faith.... because... "Bridging The Gap" is the right thing to do for the community.
