| Winter 2021 Newsletter 2020 has finally ended. Between elections, insurrections, inaugurations, and some rather spectacular poetry, 2021 has arrived without a dull moment. Here at Freehold, the year is also already in full swing! New software, new staff members, and new conversations are marking our day-to-day as we continue to grow and learn. Like a tree adapting to the changes in its environment, so too is Freehold evolving to meet the needs of our community. As we celebrate our 30th anniversary this year, we hope you’ll join us in commemorating who we have been and reflecting on who we will be moving forward.
