he Reminder is at its heart not just about our communities, but about the people who make those communities vibrant, pleasant places to live and work every day. With 2015 in the books and 2016 just beginning, this week’s Reminder recognizes some of the stories from last year that inspired us, recognized hard-working, passionate community members coming together or drew our attention and would not let go. These nine stories are just a slice of what the Reminder provides every week and a promise to do just the same in 2016.
