Our Wish For You

“May each of you in your own personal lives achieve the fullest measure of personal happiness. May each of you also make an important contribution to the society in which you live, to the happiness of others...”
Sargent Shriver | Chicago, IL | May 7, 1956

Today we join millions of people around the world in celebrating Christmas. Whatever your beliefs, wherever you may be today, we send out a holiday wish to each and every one of you: may you nurture happiness within yourself, and may you also contribute to the happiness of those around you. We couldn’t think of a more appropriate wish from Sarge on this day.

May you begin 2018 filled with the peace, energy, love, and light needed to fulfill this wish.
