Carlo Bacci's Call to Serve

Reflections on what my dad's call to run and serve mean to me.

At many points in our lives we are called to step up to the plate. We feel compelled to serve; whether it be for our family, the community or something bigger than ourselves. These opportunities may arise at different times and in various ways. For my dad, Carlo Bacci, the chance to serve those around him has been revealed in running for Select Board in the town of Reading. Our community needs a level headed, common sense man like my father on the Select Board.

To me, my father running is an example of a man stepping up to the plate to serve his community. I see much determination as he works hard at his campaign. From door-knocking, reaching out to residents in the town, to collaborating with various members of committees here in Reading, the list goes on.

As a small business owner, my father Carlo understands the great importance of spending money wisely. He knows how detrimental wasteful practices can be. My father always makes careful decisions based on what is best for the business as well our family. As his daughter, I am more than excited to see my father Carlo Bacci bring these skills to the table. Just as my father wants to see me succeed in all that I do, I want to see him succeed and achieve all that he wants to accomplish.
