We look back on what we have achieved in 2025, launching several new initiatives, building a strong secular community in the lowcountry, and we call on our entire community to help us continue to improve on these successes. We also got a short letter to the editor from Herb Silverman, a report on what we learned about Project 218 at our November member gathering, and an update on our SNAP Back at Hunger program.
Here is what is in the issue:
