Chicken Soup.. ..did we fool you? This spot isn’t for recipes, it’s for thoughtful and inspiring stories and tidbits to help us on this journey together. For this issue we are featuring a quote by Rick:
..MP has been an impact on many lives. But it is you, the Members who have done that. I may have cast the stone, but it’s all of you who make the ripples...We are just beginning, where this journey takes us who knows. You can all say..."I was there, in the beginning"...
