Good evening.
Thanks you so much Jim, what a great guy you are and in front of this cross section of the community I want to tell you personally two little words that mean so much: Thank you for all you do for every organization and may you be blessed with joy happiness and success in all you do. We all know McCaffrey's is not only a Super Market but a super mentch.
Over the last year we began the Friendship Circle which pairs special needs children and teenagers. Where kids learn to appreciate each other for who they are, not to be judged what they are not. In running this program, I realized that if fact every one is a special needs person. Each of us has a handicap, yet every one has special virtues. We are in fact all special children. If we learn to focus on the positive, we can accomplish so much.
As we sit here this evening we will be watching and listening to a master. An individual who scaled the heights of the music world and has used his violin as a tool to masterfully blend the entire scale of music. It was undoubtedly hard, and required a lot of focus. Tonight we see the end product.
Each and every one in this room is a very special musical note in the symphony of creation. We each posses our very special unigueness that enables us to contribute to the success of all humanity. Let us not underestimate that value. Not in our selves, not in the people we meet.
This evening let’s focus and listen to the sounds of this musical master, and as we become captured by the masterful combination of musical notes and sounds joining together, let us be inspired to look inward into our selves, and join with our special notes into the symphony of creation. If we can achieve that and inspire the one’s we know to do the same, then, this evening will not only reach the 1500 gathered here in this hall this evening, but the thousands more we each touch. Imagine the impact.
Thanks you and good evening.
