Greetings,
Summer finally arrived this week. We went from October to August
weather in a week. Wow. The good news is we are now back
to "normal." It is great to have summer temps. The biggest
problem with our garden at the moment is too much lettuce. We are
eating like rabbits at my house!
Maria Erichsen, Business Operations
Manager, has volunteered to help write Organization Highlights. Several
people have asked why this feature has been missing for the last few
months. Our CEO, Steve Mallory, has been ill. Thanks to Maria for
helping.
Also this month:
Walt Kilcullen writes about riding horses
as therapy.
Lin Mouat shares her brush this month with
confronting fear.
Jean Guggenheimer reports on stroke news from

Brian Kalhbaugh shares the story of coaching
his son's basketball team post stroke.
