Celebrating Community

I don’t know about all of you – but I’ve definitely had a bad case of Avs fever the last several months.  Having the opportunity to cheer for a Colorado team in their pursuit of the Stanley Cup created tremendous excitement in my household.

As well, I was blown away by the community that was created by this moment in time.  We saw community in the team on the ice.  We also saw community in the fans in the stands.  Community also showed up out and about – wearing Avs gear regularly...
