WELCOME

Hi. My name is Wendy Garf-Lipp and I am the new director of United Neighbors of Fall River. I am very excited to be moved into this position. Fall River is a community that is rich in resources, initiatives and people that are working to change the way Fall River residents live, the way they view the lives of others and the way they come together to help sustain change. One of my heroes is Margaret Mead, the noted American cultural anthropologists.She said,

"Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed individuals can change the world, indeed it's the only thing that ever has."

Fall River is a community that has taken Margaret Mead's words to heart. Throughout the community, small groups of individuals are working to create healthier life styles, to promote domestic peace and tranquility, to support under serviced populations and to educate residents and youth. Most impressive is when these small groups of "thoughtful, committed individuals" come together forming coalitions for larger projects that can have a lasting impact on our community
