Message from the Chair
Congratulations to all of our friends who volunteered in this year's elections as a candidate, a volunteer or an advocate for one of the ballot issues. No matter what our differences are, the personal contributions of time and talent made in these local elections are great examples of what it means to live in the land of the free and the home of the brave. I saw many honorable efforts and very little bad behavior. Once again, even large amounts of money had little effect on some efforts, and everybody is pleased with that idea.
Senator John Kefalas is hosting a Community Conversation this Saturday. Join Sen. Kefalas at the SIP Café inside the Raintree Athletic Club to share your thoughts, ask questions and engage in conversation about issues facing our community. See details below.
--William Russell
"It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat."
--Theodore Roosevelt
