"My very first encounter with one of our Consumers was quite a revelation for me. I have to admit that I was afraid; I didn't know what to expect. My fears were soon put aside when one of the Consumers hugged me. Now, I realize how much working with our Consumers has touched my heart and has made me a better person. I can only hope that I have given them a little of me in return." - Frank Bono, Director of Building Management
