Inclusion and Hositality

This is a picture over looking the OMI Festival last year. It takes place around the corner from our office on Ocean Ave.

Last night we opened up our office for a community fund raiser. The fund-raiser is for our upcoming OMI International Family Festival. It's Sept. 13. I invited some folkes from First Baptist Church, the church my family is part of. I had a couple of conversations about why we're investing into our community. as I explained some of why our business opens it's doors for community event, I used the word hospitality to describe our posture toward the neighborhood. Our store front office is a place of inclusion and hospitality. Inclusion is one of the things I like most about our team. There are really many qualities that make for an amazing bunch. But, people who include are the kind of people I like to be around most. I think that's a church at it's best too - hospitable.
