Winners Don’t Quit!
Al Foxx’s story began in 1980 when he was 18 years old. He’d been visiting a friend and lost track of time. He was late and jumped on his motorcycle and sped away. Unfortunately for Al, the cycle crashed, leaving him half-paralyzed and brain injured. His helmet cracked on impact and the police later reported to him he was going twice the speed limit at the time of the accident. Thirty days after the accident, Al awoke in the hospital. He was informed by doctors and nurses alike that he wouldn’t walk, talk or drive again. The crash had damaged his larynx, so he couldn’t talk. A slow process of rehabilitation began, and Al harbored resentment for what had happened to him. At the same time, he loved attention, and one day, his speech therapist gave him a reason for living. She said, “Winners don’t quit,” which gave him the prescription for trying to change his situation. READ MORE

THIS WEEK * * * Admin Corner To the Membership: Thanks for keeping your accounts up to date. Your remittances are appreciated. Don’t forget your make-ups for attendance. For some members, one make-up a quarter keeps you out of the doghouse! The following item is VERY IMPORTANT. Please give it your full attention! Many members have stored files and boxes from previous BBRC years. We are centralizing our storage and need to have an inventory. If you are storing any material or files from past years, please email the club administrator and describe what you have, the amount of material you have, and an approximate size of this inventory. For those who may be storing ticket stubs from previous raffles, State rules say we must keep them for three years before disposing of them. If you have a container of stubs dating from the Raffle of 2000 back into the 1990’s, these can be disposed of. Otherwise, we need to identify who has “active” stores of stubs (2001, 2002, 2003). Please make this a priority so we can get a handle on any material which should be archived and stored. Your Administrator breathlessly awaits your replies! | |||||||||||||||
