"The biggest takeaway I got from participating in Rutherfordton Citizens Academy was the sense of community. In our class, we had people from all walks of life. Some of us were graduating college, while some others were retired. We had new residents in our class, who had moved in merely months before the class began - and we had lifelong citizens who already seemed to know everyone". -Randee Sherrod '19
