I could not be more excited for you to receive and read this issue of View from the Valley. Its pages hold so much more than a message of gratitude but a continual thread of faith, community, and support.

You will feel it in the words shared by retiring Board Member Clyde Espigh as he reflects on Valley View’s earliest days and how he sees the mission alive today. You will sense it in the intentional words of CFO Mindy Retherford as she shares personal experience of seeing the organization’s ability to pivot holding true to mission all the while looking for ways to improve. Lastly, you will hear it ring true in the appreciative words shared by Activities Aide Jen Ehresman on what it means to serve with others.

I remain grateful for my ability to serve this great community, for our shared experiences and for all we will do together in the new year.

Blessings,

Nicole Sarver
