In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. He was in the beginning with God. All things were made through Him, and without Him was not anything made that was made. In Him was life, and the life was the light of men. The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it. - 1 John 1:5 |

President's Message LYNNE WARNE |

Like many of you, I compile a list of resolutions for the new year. I start by looking at the goals set for the prior year and analyzing which ones need to continue, change or be deleted.
