What does "Made in Cheverly" mean to you?

We recently asked for responses to the question "What does Made in Cheverly mean to you?" Our first response comes from Cathy Smith, a long-time Cheverly resident who is active in many community groups, including Progressive Cheverly. You may remember Cathy from her starring role on one of the parade floats last year!
One of the best things about Cheverly is how it illustrates the role of a close-knit community on children. We now have -- what? -- at least three generations of kids born and raised here, and many of them are doing awesome things in the world. Physicists, professional musicians and actors, social activists, soon-to-be environmental engineers, entrepreneurs, teachers, lawyers, dedicated moms and dads and many more come to mind. Having the love and support of a village really does take care of a child. 


Thank you for this wonderful, thoughtful response. We agree: strong, smart families are Made in Cheverly!
