I am non-profit, function in a highly competitive environment, and am mission driven. Many of my brothers and sisters have gone by the wayside because they were too small to compete. My patrons are very dedicated and are happy to tell their friends and family about the service I provide to my community, but too few people know everything I have to offer.
