[VABS] VABS Bracelet Fundraiser

[Naim Abu-ElHawa]

Dear President Parsons  And Hello All:
Good Day!
I like the idea of "Live The Life You Want." So much better than my original: "Confidence, Competence, Independence." I must say, though, we can also just try for a straight: "Independence." Also, another prospect can be: "Dream, Hope, Pursue, Reality." Or, "FREEDOM." Or, "NO OBSTACLES." Or, "Empowerment, Enability." Thank you. Thank you, all! Thank you much! Much respect.

Many Thanks And Much Respect.

Sincerely,



Naim Muawia Abu-El Hawa
