First, before we list the awards, we have a few shout outs:

How about a Community School?
It seems strange on the heels of my blog about guns that I now want to talk about community schools. This may be a time when parents and school staff are thinking about locking out the community from our schools. But let’s talk about it…

A Good Morning at the Live United Celebration and Annual Meeting
More than 200 people joined us for our annual Live United Celebration and Annual Meeting on Tuesday, January 29. Normally these are two separate meetings, held at different times of the year (November and April). We made the decision to combine the events to accomplish two goals:
Filming and Weather - Are We Still On?
If any of you are planning on joining us for the filming fun out at Taylor Ranch on Thursday, well we are still on! IF for some reason this little "weather event" shows up earlier or bigger than reported thus far, we'll reschedule for next week, but at this point all systems are go!
Don't Avoid the Topic of Guns
I doubt many of us made it through the holidays without thinking of the mass shooting in Newtown Connecticut.. Such a horrific event penetrates the armor of the most hardened of us. So as we figure out ways to move on, we face two options:
1. Let time diminish our feelings about it
2. Keep the tragedy alive enough to have a national discussion about it
