fulfill that obligation. Work details run every week or you may help at a club function.
Failure to do so only forces the same members to do all the work for YOUR CLUB Please
complete your obligation to your club, or the Executive board may be forced to take
other steps to get more help. You can contact a Trail Boss for work detail info.

The Board of Directors has decided we will not be parking cars next year at the
Sandy Creek Fair!
We do not choose to be born.
We do not choose our parents,
Or our times or country of birth,
Or the circumstances of our upbringing.
We do not—most of us—choose to die
But within all this realm of choicelessness
We do choose how we shall live—
Courageously or in cowardice,
Honorably or dishonorably,
With purpose or adrift.
We decide what is important and what is trivial
What makes us significant is what we do,
Or refuse to do.
We decide and we choose
And so we give definition to ourselves.
