“A new year is a time for new beginnings, as well as a time to reflect on the past. It is a chance for us to celebrate our successes, and plan to have a wonderful year. As a new year dawns, let us consider how we can use the next 365 days to make a difference on the planet. Let us be thankful for what we have achieved and mindful of our responsibility to continue the good works. Our commitment to service can make the world a better place.”
