PARTNERSHIP Quarterly Message As we round-off the year in this quarter, I begin with a quote by Steve Maraboli which states “those who have the ability to be grateful are the ones who have the ability to achieve greatness.” While we reflect on this words, we are reminded of the milestones we have achieved this year in the South Florida community and are grateful for the opportunity to serve. Our service in the community has been recognized by our fellow organizations in our ability to partner for a common cause. This puts into perspective our impact in the community in ways beyond imagination when we work together. As we strive to achieve greatness as an organization that lives its values of honor, integrity, unity and progress, I commend everyone for the time you put in to be the change you want to see through this organization. I am grateful for the opportunity to serve you all this year and look forward to a great 2018. I wish each of you and your families a very merry Christmas and a Prosperous New Year In advance.
