         Addresses the need to balance relationships with responsibilities and to establish the home as the basic
         and fundamental building block of a thriving life. The family is our first school and our last school. In the
         family, we are provided with security, identity, and values.

         Bottom Line
         A community is comprised of thousands of family units. Just as one person in a family can damage the name of the entire
         family, one family in a community can affect the reputation of an entire city and region. The Center will provide resources
         and support in parenting, marriage, etiquette, community service, time management, work ethic, counseling, and other
         support services and training opportunities.
