One of the special things about our White County community is the diversity of its residents. In addition to our full-time residents, we are blessed by summer residents and visitors who add a wide array of interests, talents, and commitments to our community.
So what do our visitors and part-time residents have to do with the Community Foundation of White County? Plenty! They are part-time residents, but they are full-time partners in making our community a better place in which to live.
Think for a moment…when you plan your vacation or summer getaway, what do you consider? Attractions? Accommodations? Of course. And if you’re going to spend any length of time in an area, you also think about the surrounding community – its resources, friendliness, and general ambiance. You want to visit a place that cares about the people who live there as well as the people who visit there.
Our summer partners have thought of those things, too, and they have chosen to be here.
In Indiana, community foundations are making a significant difference in the quality of life in many communities, and it’s being noticed. It’s not only being noticed – it’s being shared, by full-time as well as part-time residents. These partnerships are opening doors to new dreams, new possibilities, and shared enthusiasm.
Many former-part-time-now-full-time residents have become very dedicated members of our community: they serve on local boards and volunteer in numerous service groups; they have formed businesses and corporations. They have made White County a part of their heart.
Some have also made White County a part of their legacy through the Community Foundation. Through the Foundation, their dreams will continue to find new life, providing joy and growth into the future.
Are we happy to welcome our visitors? Absolutely! Are we happy when you choose to make this area your summer residence, or even your permanent home? Even more so! We know White County is a special place, and we thank you for helping make it even better!
