I can honestly say that no leader has ever won a battle single-handed. No company, even Arcadia has ever produced a first-class product without first-class people and providers. We celebrate the tradition and power of bold thinking, collaboration and diversity. History proves that none of us can be the best at everything. But when all us combine our strengths, we can and will be the best at virtually anything. Great families, friendships and neighborhoods; great sports teams, communities and schools; great customers, colleagues and companies--each is celebrated. The miracle is this: Teamwork has its own arithmetic. |

These days, businesses are focusing more and more on the bottom line and their mere existence. This needs to be true about our chapter as well, not in terms of profit, but in terms of product. The best intentions and the kindest hearts in the world mean nothing unless positive action follows. We have the ability to increase our limited resources by using member volunteers; we can increase our presence, position and power in the same way. |

The concept of "purpose," even the word itself, is something held in high regard by many, perhaps even most. Some describe purpose as giving them a general direction for their lives, while others even go so far as to allow it to prioritize the key choices required in their day-to-day living. And yet, many might find it difficult to describe what purpose is and, even more difficult, to honestly point to how they will use it in the daily choices they make. |
