Directors were honoured with a gift. Deborah Bryson-Sarauer, the current board Secretary, was the one that took that call fifteen years ago along with four other members of the community to get PARTNERS for Rural Family Support off the ground. “I felt really helpless for the woman who called me because we didn’t have services in Humboldt for her.” Bryson-Sarauer started talking to people about what they would do in situations like that. All of them said they wouldn’t know what to do. From finding the problem came finding solutions, says Bryson-Sarauer. “People wanted to help but they didn’t know how.”
