PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE
February 2012
As I have been pondering my first message to you since Hawaii, I am reminded of how quickly things can change. Rather than basking in the afterglow of a trip of a lifetime, there was my son's surgery; my husband's on-and-off-and-on-again surgery, the first of three, and his new cardiac issues; the death of two friends' parents; and then, this past week, the death of a childhood friend and another friend facing a battle with cancer. They say God never gives us more than we can handle and there is always someone whose circumstances make ours pale in comparison. Those words keep coming back to me, and they are so true. Everyone has struggles, every single one of us. Read entire President's Message ...
