Making a
Difference in Your Community
 By
Linda Weaver Clarke
"I shall pass through this world but once.
If, therefore, there be any kindness I can
show, or any good thing I can do, let me do
it now; Let me not defer or neglect it, for
I shall not pass this way again.” –Grellet
Is it possible to make the community that we
live in just a little better place? What can
we do to make a difference? As Grellet said,
is there any kindness we can show or any
good thing we can do to help our community?
Each of us has something to share, whether
it is our talents or love for the youth and
elderly of our community.

The
Mission of Great Wealth: In Giving
Something Back to the Community
By Daegan
Smith
 Have
you ever wondered why the rich get
richer, and the poor become even poorer?
Robert T. Kiyosaki, a fourth generation
Japanese-American, had been thinking of
the same thing since he was young. His
real dad was highly educated and
intelligent. He had a Ph.D., went to Ivy
League schools, and became head of
education in the state of Hawaii. Yet
Kiyosaki saw how his dad struggled to
pay the bills.
Kiyosakiís best friend, on the other
hand, had a dad who did not go past
eighth grade. Yet he became one of the
richest men in Hawaii, and left tens of
millions of dollars to his family, the
church, and his favorite charities.
Kiyosaki calls him his rich dad.
How does a man become rich? Clearly, it
is not earning all those college and
postgraduate degrees. In Kiyosakiís
best-selling book Rich Dad poor Dad, he
shares the practical lessons he learned
from his two dads on achieving wealth.
