HAPPY EASTER!
As we come to the end of the first quarter of the year, I would like us all to give God thanks for bringing us thus far. It is now the beginning of spring. Let us spring clean our hearts, souls, and minds as we focus on the positive things in life. Let us be kind to one another. I’m praying that we will continue to be safe, healthy and prosperous throughout this year.
Springtime is here and yes it is spring break! I am encouraging you all to be safe while out on break. Safety should be our priority regardless of what you do; whether you are on the beach, away on the island or in Europe or even right here at home. Please be mindful of what you are doing and be safe. This is the year 2024 and it’s also a leap year, so anything is possible. Please be cautious in all that you do.
