April 7, 2012
Tremendous speakers that we have heard from tonight. I think James hit on some very important points that many of you or everyone here have really displayed in taking that first action step. We discussed a lot about different things that we can do, different things that we should do better, and different ideas that we need to consider as we are talking about how we rebuild our dream and reclaim our dream here. I think one key component that we have all put into practice here tonight that many […]
