Heroes Right Here
in Biltmore Park!
Did
you know that when community connections (known as “social
capital”) are lacking, people’s quality of life and even
physical health suffer dramatically? We are social
animals! So let’s hear it for the heroes here in Biltmore
Park who are adding years to our lives (and fun to those
years!)…
Sincere thanks to each of you and to your families for all
your hard work.
Wanna
be a Hero here in your neighborhood?
Email
us with your cape size and we’ll
get to work!
