Program: “Talk & Roll” presented by Barry Long introduced by President Amy Norman
Barry Long told his story with humor. He talked about his growing up in Bellevue and his adventure with getting a job in Alaska to build hunting and fishing lodge then become a hunting and fishing guide. He told the story of his motorcycle accident and how he accomplished his goals after being paralyzed. Goal is a destination; not a bullet point. After his accident, he started looking at goals as a destination. He stated a couple of lessons he learned. The lessons are we don’t ask for help very often and have a hard time accepting help. Change your mindset.
President Amy Norman recognized Sonya Kraski as an inspiration.
Thank you from President Amy - Be an Inspiration!
