 Teamwork ...
It always amazes me when events go off with a big hit ... it usually happens with a handful of eager ... hard working folks.
It's hard to get volunteers and even paid help these days. But those few who give it their all reap many benefits.
"The achievements of an organization are the results of the combined effort of each individual."
Vince Lombardi, football coach for the NFL (1913-1970)
"The way a team plays as a whole determines its success. You may have the greatest bunch of individual stars in the world, but if they don't play together, the club won't be worth a dime." ~Babe Ruth
 This past weekend - teamwork prevailed! From the Flag Day Celebration to the Company 1 Fire Department Pork Festival to the Sound Movement Arts Music Recital - if it weren't for all the dedicated staff and volunteers to make all these events and many others happen - many many people would have been quite disappointed.
And ... it's just not the paid staff and the volunteers who make an event so special and full of memories ... for each individual who supports the event with their presence - is "what it's all about" ...
Make sure you take the time to remember ALL those who make our communities what they are!
Through pictures ... we recap a few of the memories ... enjoy ... click on each photo to see slide show ...
