Simplicity is essential in applying our principles to our speech, our plans, and our actions. We reject disguises of rank and position. We oppose violence in all of its forms, and encourage development of a sense of inner peace. We protect the vulnerable and defenseless. We try to be fiscally responsible in order to provide needed services, respond to community needs, and control our destiny.
Money is a tool with which to fulfill our values, never an end in itself.
We lead by example, our words and deeds guided by our basis beliefs. Our commitment is to serve the community with humility, integrity, and loving compassion.
