People in Your Neighborhood

Neighbors of Willow Bend magazine features a different Planoites family each month, each with their own story of struggle and triumph. These families all have one thing in common: they are in a loving and committed relationship with their Plano community! Most are active volunteers within the community, while some have founded their own foundations and organizations. I am privileged to meet and photograph these families each month. I hope you read through these and hopefully become better connected with people who may be living in your neighborhood!
