An opportunity every person should experience is volunteering to help with Special Olympics. Here's a club shot of the from Kiwanis in 2003.
A brutally cold year at Special Olympics but with enthusiasm we gladly presented the awards.

Lastly, a tribute to the hero's of 9-11
On Ellis Island, headed to visit the World Trade Center in 2000. Sadly, just 10 months later the back ground would look very different.
Stopping by to pay tribute to over 3,000 Americans at Ground Zero. May God Bless each of them, and may God bless the families.
In St. Paul's Chapel beside the World Trade Center. A six year old girl left her thoughts on a bulletin board. She drew the cross of beams left in ground zero and left a message. "I hope you people are having fun in heaven"
After all of the debris was removed from the World Trade Center, these two beams were left standing. The Cross remains today.
May God Bless the United States of America
