LWVCC envisions a community bound by the Ten Habits of Good Citizens and a foundation of tolerance, integrity, and personal responsibility. LWVCC believes in regarding all individuals with dignity and respect. The communities of Chaffee County are widely regarded as friendly and down-to-earth, and a nice place to live where residents try hard at being good neighbors. Using that framework as the jumpstart for this project, LWVCC will be providing opportunities to bring people together around the many things we all have in common.
