We do live in an exciting, fast-moving, and challenging time -- a time when, more than ever before, we need to cling to the teachings of Christ -- the only final unchangeable base to which we can always retreat. Thanks be to God! To everyone, a very Merry Christmas and a New Year filled with blessings! 2 3 MANAGEMENT IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM MEET THE MEMBERS OF OUR BOARD OF TRUSTEES -Dr. Edward M.
