Quarterly Message As we round-off the year in this quarter,

I begin with a quote by Steve Maraboli

which states “those who have the ability

to be grateful are the ones who have the

ability to achieve greatness.”

While we reflect on this words, we are

reminded of the milestones we have

achieved this year in the South Florida

community and are grateful for the

opportunity to serve.

Our service in the community has been

recognized by our fellow organizations in

our ability to partner for a common

cause. This puts into perspective our

impact in the community in ways beyond

imagination when we work together.

As we strive to achieve greatness as an

organization that lives its values of

honor, integrity, unity and progress, I

commend everyone for the time you put

in to be the change you want to see

through this organization.

I am grateful for the opportunity to serve

you all this year and look forward to a

great 2018. I wish each of you and your

families a very merry Christmas and a

Prosperous New Year In advance.

Respectfully,

Floyd Abang (President)
