“I was very shy when I first moved into Fletcher, so one of the more positive things living there did for me was help get me out of my shell and into the community and Kalamazoo.”
“I learned a lot about the workings of a housing co-op, a bit about board operations, and a whole lot about people in general. It has definitely been a considerable growth experience, and I look forward to continuing that growth relationship mutually with cooperatives throughout my lifetime.”
