As we kick off another year in our wonderful community, I want to share something that's been on my mind: HNN needs you.

I know what you're thinking – "I don’t want to be the leader," or "I don't have a lot of time," or "What could I possibly contribute?" The most powerful force in any community isn't grand gestures or big titles. It's the quiet commitment of neighbors who show up.

Maybe you can greet people at an event for an hour. Perhaps you're good at sending a few emails or making phone calls. Post on social media? Set up chairs? These aren't "small" roles – they're the backbone of everything we do.

HNN thrives because people like you decide that community matters. Every single contribution – no matter how modest it seems – creates ripples that touch lives throughout our town. When you volunteer, you're not just helping an organization, you're weaving the social fabric that makes Holliston home.

So, I'm asking: What's your hour? What's your talent? What's your passion? We'll find a place for it.
