RCHC Vision
RCHC Vision
There are three things we as RCHC value and hope to continuously develop: our physical environment, our social environment, and our relationship with the outside community.
- We hope to develop our physical space by maintaining our facilities and by instilling a sense of ownership among our residents.
- We would like RCHC to be “home-like” with a social environment that encourages involvement, where members interact with mutual respect, goodwill, acceptance, trust and support.
- We hope to be an asset to the community through concern for the environment, education, and the support of community endeavors.
