Terry opened the meeting with the pledge of alligence followed in prayer by Ron. 

Terry shared two quotes by UCLA coach John Wooden whose team won 10 NCAA championships in 12 years between 1964 and 1975.

"Failure to change is often just stubbornness that comes from an unwillingness to learn, an inability to realize that you're not perfect.  There cannot be progress without change-even though not all change is progress." 

"You must never stand still. You're either moving upward a little bit or going the other way.  You can't expect to upward to quickly, but you sure could down very quickly.  Progess comes slowly but steadily if you are patient and prepare diligently."
