Celebrating 250 Years: Community, Service, and the Heart of America

As we celebrate 250 years of America, I put forth the question: What has made America great? Was it one person? One event? No—it was millions of little things. It is our job, as citizens of these United States, to make America better each day. Our Founding Fathers gave us this duty and the power to control our own destiny.

“We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.—That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed,—That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness.”

(Declaration of Independence, Thomas Jefferson)

These great men understood that America was far from perfect. They also understood that if you give people the power to achieve something that seems unreachable, they will rise to greatness. Wishing for a better society is not enough—you have to take action. Serving our God, our family, and our community brings us closer to a more perfect union.

Here at Patterson Place, we are honored to be part of this community and its greatness. We are humbled by the people who relentlessly serve their neighbors and community. We are truly grateful for the community’s love and support. Thank you—thank you.

We are excited to add another service to our business. Along with the Saturday Market and Conaprole Leasing, we are working on our Whatcha Want Eatery and Mercantile—and now, The Hidden Chef.

It is summer—the time of year when dinner can get difficult. We have a solution: turn crazy into calm with a consultation from The Hidden Chef.

The Hidden Chef provides a monthly menu of dinners for you to choose from. Once ordered, the chef handles all the shopping and schedules a two-hour consultation to help you organize and prep your meals, making dinnertime a faster, cleaner, and more affordable process.

The Hidden Chef also offers a variety of homemade baked goods made to order, so you don’t have to heat up the house. Pantry items you may have forgotten at the store are also available for purchase.

If you’ve been looking for a faster, easier, healthier way to feed your family, visit pattersons-place.com for all the details.

We are excited to bring old friends together and welcome new ones as we gather as a family—to strengthen bonds and share food and love.
