Mr. Winston's Closing Thought

Many people are born with the natural abilities, some might even call them raw talents. These attributes normally include running very fast or jumping extremely high. Some people are naturally good at hitting a baseball 400 feet out of the ball park or solving math equations with lightening speed but my raw talent and natural ability is serving our community while also putting smiles on the faces of the youth. In a world where people worry about how many points their stock dropped on the Nasdaq or Dow Jones i seem to be one of few who has yet to lose sight of whats really important for our society to move forward and thats our worlds most precious commodity...the children.
