The end of a year, and a decade, is a good time to stop, rest, reflect and be thankful for all we have.

Personally I want to express gratitude for my good health, great kids, my good fortune to live in America at a time of relative peace and abundance, have hundreds of close good friends like you, the chance to give back more than I got, and to continue the virtuous cycle I am on.

In the past decade, with your trust, moral and financial help, we turned a crazy idea, to create a Securus Locus, into reality. In the next decade, we will strive to turn Highland City Club into Highland Institute, whatever that turns out to be.

Best wishes for a safe, happy, healthy and prosperous new year.
