PRIORITIES FROM THE PRESIDENT
Hi Ho Everybody :
Now that winter has gone can 1_ti
spring be far behind? Can ' t wait
to catch a mess of sunnies .
They say that April showers
bring May flowers , so a lot of you
will be planting your gardens .
We have a fun program planned
for this spring . I know we have
a lot of good talent in our club , ONCE IN A SMILE
so I would like to have some of
you set up a show similar to the
"Gong Show'' DECLARATION OF INTERDEPENDENCE
Think about it anyway . Let it be declared , announced,
and hereby celebrated . . .
That all people everywhere are
God Bless You All , dependentupon one another.
That everyone needs everyone
Alex else for freedom, life , love,
and happiness .
-=� 7 That all things in the natural
"God ' s Moment'' order are dependent upon
everything else.
Life will be golden c,. That our little planet and all
all the way , � -,� ��'� the planets and stars in all
If we shall live it r the solar systems are in a 'state
right this day , of mutual dependence upon one
The worth of it �� another,
depends on how ! That this universally shared
we use this moment 1y dependence comes from God and
Here and now. is of God.
And that each individual part
of this great relationship has
its own part to play -- it ' s
own destiny to ful. fi.il in
God' splan,
