Greetings Sandy,
As we move into the Fall and Winter, we find
the time to slow down and reflect. Recently,
we rediscovered a familiar quote which has
helped Adventure Associates contemplate our
place in the world. While you consider your
life's adventures and challenges, we hope you
will find this quote useful as well:
"Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful
committed citizens can change the world.
Indeed, it's the only thing that ever has."
--Margaret Mead, Anthropologist (1901-1978)
