President's Message
Thanks Hal for sharing some inspirational thoughts this last week. We all have that inner mind that speaks to us, influencing our daily lives. Do we choose to listen to the good Elmo or the bad Elmo? I saw a post on social media which lists things that are IN our control and OUT of our control which influences us. One of those which are IN our control is how we speak to ourselves. Your Elmo!
Reminder! If you haven't signed up for John's Installation party at Gate City, its not to late. See Tori about getting your tickets as its sure to be an awesome time as we bring in the new leadership for another great year under John's leadership!
