"Security is mostly a superstition. It does not exist in nature, nor do the children of men as a whole experience it. Avoiding danger is no safer in the long run than outright exposure. Life is either a daring adventure, or nothing." 

 

These are the words of the woman who became the poster child for overcoming adversity. A woman who was isolated into the two dimensional world of touch and smell at the age of 19 months.  Yet, she went on to inspire millions around the world. Sightless and deaf, Helen Keller resolved to make something of her life. She lived with a keen understanding that change is inevitable, but growth is intentional. Unwilling to give in to her blindness, she chose to strive for a normal life.

Lyle Henning

 

APICS Twin Cities is winding down another successful year.  It has been a little bittersweet as the Past President, I will be off the board next year (unless I step back into another board or committee position). I have enjoyed my time on the board the last few years.  I am currently involved with an APICS task force at the corporate headquarters level.
