Busy Times!

The election is over... and the real work of righting our country has begun. Just be aware, when politicians say that "we" need to work, they're talking about YOU! And, seeing as how most of us don't work for the government directly, they're usually talking about collecting more MONEY from you - in lieu of you grabbing a shovel or a calculator!

Many of us are already tightening our belts a bit (and more than a few of us could use it!), but I fear that the worst is yet to come. The last world wide depression was more than a decade long and I suspect that this one will not be measured in months.

Trust in your abilities, trust your family and friends and take as long a view as you possibly can. It's just as important for all of us to keep our eyes on the future as it is to live day to day. Set a well-reasoned goal and keep on track. Adapt as you must to make the goal a reality, but keep your head up!

Our S.T.O.R.M. class is starting to get a food drive organized. Check with a leadership team member to see how you can help.

When we train as athletes, we are always aware that no matter how good we get, there's always somebody a little faster, a little stronger - a little luckier. As we come into hard times, remember that no matter how bad things get, there's always somebody in a worse position.
