Promise Yourself
To be so strong that nothing can disturb your peace of mind. To talk health, happiness and prosperity to every person you meet. To make all your friends feel that there is something in them. To look at the sunny side of everything and make your optimism come true

. To think only of the best, to work only for the best, and to expect only the best. To be just as enthusiastic about the success of others as you are about your own. To forget the mistakes of the past and press on to the greater achievements of the future. To wear a cheerful countenance at all times and give every living creature you meet a smile. To give so much time to the improvement of yourself that you have no time to criticize others. To be too large for worry, too noble for anger, too strong for fear, and too happy to permit the presence of trouble.

On Tuesday night we fed over 100 kids PIZZA! It's always a hit and covers the four major food groups. Staff and Board members from Wake Electric helped us serve. They also provided a $1,000 grant for us to feed the Boys and Girls Club at least two times! The costs fluctuate depending on the number of students that show up to eat. Thank you to everyone who supports Operation Roundup at Wake Electric. This is a great example of where the money is donated to feed hungry kids in our local community!
