Happy Father’s Day!
“What I’ve realized is that life doesn’t count for much unless you’re willing to
do your small part to leave our children — all of our children — a better world.
Any fool can have a child. That doesn’t make you a father. It’s the courage
to raise a child that makes you a father.”
President Barack Obama

Happy Mother’s Day from The Links, Incorporated! “Today is the day that we not only celebrate our mothers, godmothers, and aunties, but it is also the time that we remember and honor all those women who made significant contributions in our lives. One of our greatest human endeavors should always be to live so that we make life better for others. The quality of any woman’s life is measured by her commitment to the greater good and her availability to pour into the lives of others. She understands that her legacy will be found in the lives of those she influences or serves.”- Rev. Dr. Elaine M. Flake, National Chaplain, The Links, Incorporated.
