My Fellow Washingtonians…

We have come a long way as a Foundation and yet, there are a few more hurdles for us to leap. Yes, God has been good to us and for us. I think to put it in perspective is to say, “Whatever you begin, begin it with boldness, because boldness has greatness and potential”.

We know the expert planning has allowed us to enjoy all the endeavors that we have partaken. I am truly honored and blessed to be surrounded by such talented people as all of you.

The late Dr. Benjamin E. Mayes said: “It must be borne in mind that tragedy of life doesn’t lie in not reaching your goal. The tragedy is having no goal to reach. It isn’t a calamity to die with dreams unfulfilled, but it is a calamity not to. It is not a disaster to be unable to capture your ideal, but it is a disaster to have no ideal to capture. It is not a disgrace not to reach the stars, but it is a disgrace to have no stars to reach for.”

With your support, I am certain that we can and will accomplish our goals.
