My name is Cassie Hobeck, I have been a resident of Ray County for 11 years. I currently live in Lawson, where I have been for the past 5 years. I joined SNS as the Community At Play (CAP) Implementer. This program is for EVERYONE…all ages and all abilities. People from different communities, backgrounds, and lifestyles have come together and experienced the positivity and genuine connection with one another through opportunities provided by CAP. It is so easy to become isolated and lonely, but sometimes this can quickly lead to negative outcomes. I think we have all had seasons in our lives that we have separated ourselves and/or felt rejected, felt different than everyone else, or felt judged by others. The Community At Play program is here for you, we understand the importance of social interaction, feeling a sense of belonging and to have true connection with others. We all have something that makes us different than everyone else, and sometimes, with support that can become a shining quality!I have been inspired and truly believe the Community At Play program is making a positive widespread change, one interaction at a time. We do not heal in isolation…but in community.
