HCHY List: Youth Mini Poster

[JANICE BROWN]

Happy Holidays Alisond, I think this is such a great project and I too, lik=
e all of the poster themes. After thinking about all of them, I think I lik=
e the idea of #2, the leadership question.  I would like to think that many=
 of our leaders consider how they inspire others to come together, before w=
e can all move forward.  Yep, that's my pick.  "How can I inspire others to=
 come together?" Definately a sign of a great leader.Janice BrownLicensed R=
