Jim is a new member of the FSNA in this last year, but has lived in the neighborhood for the last 16 years with his family. We chose the neighborhood because we wanted to live in a family-oriented area that would be close to school, church and friends. We recognize that having good neighbors includes being a good neighbor. FSNA allows us to support our local community.
