(2:01) Hi, I’m Kirk Devere, and I’m a board member here at Action Pathways, and I’m also a Fayetteville City Councilman. (2:06) I just wanted to take a couple minutes to say thank you for all that you do for our city, for our board. (2:12) You make us proud every day with the impact that you have on our children, the people that are less fortunate in our community.

(2:18) Just helping people throughout our city and throughout actually the region in what you do each and every day to help them through the economic positions that they’re in, or the situations they may be in, or just providing great everyday care for their children and helping their children grow. (2:36) The youth in our community are critical to our future, and the investment that you’re making in them is so important. (2:41) So I just wanted to take a few moments and say thank you.

(2:44) You know, a big passion of mine is how we address poverty in our community. (2:49) When we have one-fourth of our community living in poverty, the impact that each of you make every day on changing that dynamic in our city is so critical. (2:58) So again, I just want to say thank you as a board member, and more importantly, thank you as a city councilman here in Fayetteville and for everything that you do.
