  Happy New Year!

We have put 2008 benhind and are embarking on a wonderful 2009.  This year is starting off with
Hope and Change. 
Our 44th President Barack Obama was sworn into office on Tuesday, January 20, 2009.  It came at a time that was symbolic around the birthday of Martin Luther King Jr., who not only had a dream but also wanted to see the world change. 

 

For many people, ethnicity and gender, we did not think this day would probably come.  But 40 years later, here we are in 2009, waiting for the hope that our parents infused in all of us, “that you can be anything you want if you put your mind to it.”
