“WE KNOCKED IT OUT OF THE BALLPARK! We had our best year ever with the Firework sales. All the figures are still coming in; we're hoping to have all the exact numbers from the Fireworks sales by our next meeting. This year we had record crowds and a brand new purchasing system. We overcame all of the challenges and we prevailed! I would like to personally thank everyone who helped out one way or another.

Two Wolves

A Cherokee Legend

An old Cherokee is teaching his grandson about life. “ A fight is going on inside

me,” he said to the boy.

“It is a terrible fight and it is between two wolves. One is evil – he is anger, envy,

sorrow, regret, greed, arrogance, self-pity, guilt, resentment, inferiority, lies, false

pride, superiority, and ego.”

He continued. “the other is good – he is joy, peace, love, hope, serenity, humility,

kindness, benevolence, empathy, generosity, truth, compassion, and faith. The

same fight is going on inside you – and inside every other person, too.”

The grandson thought about it for a minute and then asked his grandfather,

“Which wolf will win?”

The old Cherokee simply replied, “the one you feed.”
