From the Porch
As I citizen of Waller County, I want to get to know my neighbors better. In our busy lives, we struggle to have those great front porch conversations that help build community, so I am facilitating the first step. However, I want to challenge each of you to build on this idea and support these businesses...these churches...these people. Join us, from the porch.
