- Bring community members together to solve problems, make decisions, and create a more connected, locally self-reliant and satisfying future.

- Resilience. A resilient community can adapt to changing circumstances without sacrificing quality of life. By developing multiple strategies to meet our needs locally, our community will be better equipped to withstand shocks and adapt to change.
- Sustainability. Accounting for the needs of future generations, we want to live well and meet community needs while minimizing our reliance on non-renewable resources and avoiding damage to the local ecosystem.
- Community. Reaching out to all local residents, we seek the strength of our combined experience, skill and wisdom. We believe that knowing our neighbors and working together to prepare for potential challenges will help build a more secure and connected community life.
