Dear Members,

To me, the most important thing in life is personal growth. Challenges are difficult. They are also the best opportunity for personal growth. In reality, there are few things that we can control in our lives. We’re just along for the ride as events unfold.

What we can control is our attitudes and behavior. I choose to live each day with the joy of each sunrise and an open heart. And I choose to take thoughtful actions every day that are in keeping with what is right, without regard to outcome.

The LWVAC is a golden opportunity for the life path I have chosen. I am grateful...
