Invoking Change II

My good friend Mrs. greenlaw who is the 2nd Vice President of the Arizona State affiliate and President of the Phoenix chapter delivered a powerful speech on invoking change. We started out as a chapter with changing the mindset of the blind in Georgia and now that the change has come we have moved into an area of prosperity and freedom from the mind being stuck on tradition and customary ways of doing things.

After listening add your comments below and remember change will come, but it’s only you that can make the change happen.
