Chairman's Corner:

Quote: Dare to Be
When a new day begins, dare to smile gratefully.
When there is darkness, dare to be the first to shine a light.
When there is injustice, dare to be the first to condemn it.
When something seems difficult, dare to do it anyway.
When life seems to beat you down, dare to fight it back.
When there seems to be no hope, dare to find some.
When you're feeling tired, dare to keep going.
When times are tough, dare to be tougher.
When love hurts you, dare to love again.
When someone is hurting, dare to help them heal.
When another is lost, dare to help them find the way.
When a friend falls, dare to be the first to extend a hand.
When you cross paths with another, dare to make them smile.
When you feel great, dare to help someone else feel great too.
When the day has ended, dare to feel as you've done your best.
Dare to be the best you can-
At all times, Dare to be!
-Steve Maraboli

Quip:
When American Society of Bakers calls, dare to answer the call.
When an ASB member wants for Knowledge, dare to give our Knowledge.
When an ASB member requires Opportunity, dare to give Opportunity.
When an ASB member wants and requires Growth, dare to help develop and offer Growth.
When the Society offers Knowledge, Opportunity and Growth, dare to attend The Best Week in Baking.

I look forward to seeing you at the Best Week of Baking.

"Plant the Seed", Knowledge, Opportunity, & Growth.
