Executive Director

Youth is when you're allowed to stay up late on New Year's Eve.Middle age is when you're forced to.

-Bill Vaughn

An optimist stays up until midnight to see the new

year in. A pessimist stays up to make sure the old year leaves

. -Bill Vaughan

Many people look forward to the new year for a new start on old

habits.

-Author Unknown

A New Year's resolution is something that goes in one year and

out the other.

-Author Unknown

Be always at war with your vices, at peace with your neighbors,

and let each new year find you a better man.

=Benjamin Franklin
