OLYMPIC THEME RINGS IN UNITY! “ONE WORLD, ONE DREAM”

Posted by Doug on August 31, 2008

What a splendid event this years Olympics were in Bejing China . Both the Chinese and United States can  equally be proud of their athletes.  We  as a  world community can be elated by the Unity and Care during which these games were played. If we a global village would only be able to take to heart the theme "ONE WORLD, ONE DREAM" for more than those 14 or so days we may be on a true course to peace. But then Russia had to make the headlines by invading Gorgia  to punt a quick end to this idea.  Why is it that someone always has to  stop  peace’s forward progress?

RINGING IN UNITY

Posted by Doug on August 30, 2008

The theme for the International Festival and National Seminar for the handbell community was RINGING IN UNITY.  We were happy to know that for our presentation which we were honored to present reflected that theme in many ways…  To see so many people from around the world: Japan, Australia, England, Canada etc come to Orlando and be part of this special  event was most gratifying and certainly reflected the idea of ringing in unity.
