3/21/14 - A motivating message of hope was delivered during the first day of spring at the Salvation Army of Livingston Countyâs annual luncheon. The local Corps hosted its annual event at Mt. Brighton Thursday with the theme âHope â What the Future is Built Onâ. Leadership coach and motivational teacher John Barrett was the featured speaker during the event at Mt. Brighton. His message focused on being a hope dealer â believing in those you lead, being an example and building on failures. Because when failure happens, Barrett says you can either get better or get bitter about it. The 2013 annual report was highlighted by Advisory Board Vice Chair Brian Wallace. He volunteered with Christmas assistance this past season, and more than 2,500 individuals were served. Wallace says it was an extremely emotional and touching experience to see how thankful everyone was that the Salvation Army was there for them during their time of need. Volunteers and staff were recognized for all of their efforts and hard work over the past year while Lieutenant Tim Perkins issued a community challenge to help give and share hope in the coming year.
