Come join us next Friday, July 21st at noon
at the Doubletree by Hilton,
1775 Cheyenne Mountain Blvd., Colorado Springs.
We are asking members and guests to RSVP so that we can let the venue know how many will be attending. This is part of our contract. The meeting cost is $30 which you can pay at the door or use the link on our website. If you are invoiced for meeting dues, then you don't pay at the door. Also if you have prepaid all the meals of the quarter, you don't have to rsvp for yourself but if you are bringing a guest, rsvp for the guest. Also make sure to let me know via a separate email or phone call if your guest needs a special meal. Please RSVP by Monday at 5pm.
I’ve been told that, though I’m only 4’9”, I'll be sharing my story, SOLES of a SURVIVOR with you. Several anthologies have profiled my harrowing journey as a child refugee who went on to live the American Dream. The world desperately needs more stories about tolerance, unity, and how to work together for a common good.
The soles of my feet still bear the scars of my horrific escape from Vietnam—where I trudged through the jungles of Cambodia as a child with a group of strangers seeking the land of opportunity: America. My only possessions at the time were two pieces of clothing and a heart filled with hope.
I’m filled with gratitude for all I’ve been fortunate to accomplish and become in this great country. I hope my Soles of a Survivor story inspires and empowers you. And I hope that, like me, through your challenges, you, too, will find healing and joy.
