Committee Spotlight By ANNE SHEVLIN
Committee helps manage Charbonneau ’ s assets The true assets of Charbonneau are its residents , who bring a rich background of experience from business , health care , law , education , government , entertainment and nonprofit organizations , to name just a few . When community members bring their experiences together to work toward making Charbonneau the best it can be , we all benefit . Melding these assets together provides an environment rich with fresh ideas and expertise .
Charbonneau also has another type of “ asset ” - our physical buildings and structures that provide our community with places to work , play , socialize , engage in sporting activities or sit quietly with a book or a friend , taking in the beauty of our unique neighborhood .
