"There is incredible value in being of service to others. I think if most of the people in therapy offices were dragged out to put their finger in a dike, take up their place in a working line, they would be relieved of terrible burdens."  Elizabeth Berg

Joke of the Week

Women are smarter than men

When Ben found out he was going to inherit a fortune when his sickly father died, he decided he needed a woman to enjoy it with. So one evening he went to a singles bar where he spotted the most beautiful woman he had ever seen. Her natural beauty took his breath away.

"I may look like just an ordinary man," he said as he walked up to her "but in just a week or two, my father will die, and I'll inherit 20 million dollars."

Impressed, the woman went home with him that evening and, three days later, she became his stepmother.

Women are so much smarter than men.

*thanks to Cindy Clark for sending me this joke.


Our speaker this week was Justin Powers.  Justin has run our youth soccer program for the last 2 years.  Justin discussed the joys and the challenges operating the league.  The biggest challenge has always been finding enough coaches for the +20 teams.

Unfortunately, I was informed after our meeting that Justin will not continue running the league next year.  We need to start thinking about a replacement as soon as possible.  His shoes will not be easy to fill.  Thank you to Justin for a job well done.
