Summer is upon us. Let’s all work together towards a common goal, the betterment of the community of West Augustine. How? By being your brother’s keeper. Encourage someone when you can. Help out when you can. Give to someone less fortunate when you can. Do a good deed when you can looking for nothing in return. Be an active positive participant in the betterment of your community.
