Thought of the Week: "Failure is a much more faithful teacher than immediate success." - David Duchemin
Take a few minutes today and think of the times you grew most in life... I can pretty much guarantee you your growth and success was based upon many struggles and "failures". Be prepared to share with someone tomorrow. Also, an assignment for tomorrow's meeting: Please bring something (an object) that helps explain who you are - maybe something representing a favorite hobby, a present given to you by a meaningful person in your life, something that helped you through a tough time, etc...
Alumni Update - Mike Finch and Josie Bushar both ran up at the Idaho State Invite. Mike led the TBirds to a 2nd place finish with his 2nd place overall finish. A nice pic of Mike is on the SUU race write up.
