Dear Roots & Shoots Members, Another year comes to a close. It definitely feels as if time is speeding up, not slowing down. Someone once told me that the older we get, the faster time goes. All the more reason to enjoy the precious moments that we are blessed with! Just a few of our […]
Dear Members, It’s hard to believe that we are half way through the year already – Summer here we come! It feels like so much has been accomplished in such a short time – and it has. Just a few of our highlights include our annual awards, both here in the UK and in our […]
