Enlightened weekend

We held a Forest Foundation retreat two weeks ago. There were people who attended who have the Forest Foundation on their mind nearly 24 hours per day, and there were also people there who had never heard of the Foundation at all. I have to say though, that each individual learned a great deal not only about themsleves, but about what the Foundation is and what we stand for.

I learned that what we are trying to do is build a stronger future by investing in young people. I do not expect the fellows who work for the Foundation to continue their job into retirement. No. On the contrary I hope that they quit as soon as they graduate from college and find a job somewhere. And I hope that when they find that job, and any job from there forward, they will espouse the ideals of the Forest Foundation. That each fellow will make sure that their company, their firm, their institution is doing what it can to make the community stronger, and that no matter what their job is, they know that they can always strive to make it better.

Don't stop, we all have a lot of work to do.
