December 2022

A message from Kim Carroll

The year 2022 has come to a close and with it challenges as well as new adventures. I had the pleasure of golfing for the first time this past year. The experience brought both joy and frustration! My trepidation of golfing 18 holes was replaced with a sense of accomplishment and appreciation for the sport. “Success is no accident. It is hard work, perseverance, learning, studying, sacrifice and most of all, love of what you are doing or learning to do.” ―Pele

I hope the New Year brings happiness, peace and health

to you and your loved ones. Cheers to a happy and healthy 2023!
