A solid crowd of 15 pax gathered in the courtyard to await the start of another Arena. This was one of those days when you could just tell it was going to a good one – the HT guys were fired up to get going, we had a good crowd from F3, sun was out after a week of rain, and there were no wrecks in the parking lot. Score!

VV shared a quote from Albert Pine that was given to us at the recent Fred Barber Service Awards ceremony at Healing Transitions, which speaks to the importance of serving others during our life here on earth.
“What we do for ourselves dies with us. What we do for others and the world remains and is immortal.”
It was a true pleasure to lead the men at The Arena today.
