<strong>THE</strong>RE’S NO PLACE LIKE HOME<br />

FINDING A PLACE<br />

PURPOSE…The reason for which something is done.<br />

LEADERSHIP…The capacity of someone to lead.<br />

ACCESS…The right or ability of approaching or entering.<br />

CHOICE…An option; a decision; an opportunity to choose or select.<br />

ENGAGEMENT…Connection or attachment.<br />

The essence of PLACE is to be 100% present and plugged into what is<br />

important. PLACE pulls together facts and stories to synchronize our history<br />

with where we are today and helps to communicate relevance. We can begin to<br />

establish our PLACE in the community by taking the time to volunteer with<br />

groups that interest us and to determine the needs and interests of the people<br />

around us.<br />

DISCOVERING YOUR PLACE<br />

Look for historic signs & landmarks when you travel.<br />

Listen to, read, and watch autobiographical stories.<br />

Make time to do and learn something different each day.<br />

Visit a library, heritage trail, museum or national park.<br />

Support local, non-profit community organizations.<br />

Where we are is not who we are; it merely provides the background for our<br />

story. The notion of being at home can be both a mindset and an actual location.<br />

Each day we can shape our surroundings and our relationships to create the<br />

type of life we want.<br />
