THP EMPLOYEE CELELBRATES 15 YEARS OF SERVICE

Congratulations to Mark Cassity who celebrates 15 years of service at THP's Higher
Ground!

"There are moments when 15 years at Higher Ground feels like a hundred; and there
are moments when it's the blink of an eye. Beyond all that, at the end of the day
(or at the end of 15 years), it is plain that we are buoyed by the grace, compassion
and generosity of a brilliant community. Gratitude seems to be the only place to
set anchor... or set sail. Thank you for having me". - Mark Cassity
