Closing Thoughts from President Cochran:
“Advertising is the modern substitute for argument; its function is to make the worse appear the better.” George Santayana.
“Get the facts first, then you can distort them as much as you please.” Mark Twain.

Enjoy your family and friends. We are blessed to have the fellowship of Rotary together with the love and support of our families. Throwing one last quote, George Carlin said “the things in life that matter are not things” With that, I wish you all a Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays, and Happy New Year! Go out and be good people and even greater Rotarians. Make a difference in the world as Rotarians can and do!
