January 20, 2015 Canandaigua Connected ENewsletter 

I like celebrating MLK Day. It isn't the day off from school for the kids or the typical holiday stuff that I like as much as the way we get to honor and remember someone who made a difference. Someone who recognized the status quo wasn't right. Someone who wasn't afraid to stand up and speak out about how change would help the whole of society. We need more people like this who, instead of conforming to society norms and falling in line, can recognize that maybe something needs to be changed for the better and is worth fighting for.  Enjoy this week's CC!           Like us on Facebook
