"Cowardice asks the question...is it safe? Expediency asks the question...is it politic? Vanity asks the question...is it popular? But conscience asks the question...is it right? And there comes a time when one must take a position that is neither safe, nor politic, nor popular but one must take it because it is right." ~Dr. Martin Luther King

A VISIT FROM GRACE

Aurora's Library Board invited Grace Marsh to the board's last meeting before the summer recess. Board members and staff wanted to express their appreciation for Grace's contribution. It was a nice occasion.

Grace is well and happy. She still struggles with the feeling she let her supporters down when she resigned from council. Everywhere she goes however people assure her that while they are sorry she s no longer a member of council,they understand completely why she had to do what she did.

When she worked for the town, Grace always went above and beyond her official function. She was particularly active in raising funds and rallying support for various causes and charities. She would like it known she is available for involvement in the voluntary sector wherever she might be needed.

Lending a hand where needed is a hard habit to break.
