This is a wonderful nonprofit that happens to also be a wonderful client and appreciative community participant. The Dominican Sisters organization gives time and expertise to other nonprofits as well. They are skilled and professional in their expertise, and well established. They would greatly benefit from recognition, as would their clients. Thanks!
