"Cowardice asks the question...is it safe? Expediency asks the question...is it politic? Vanity asks the question...is it popular? But conscience asks the question...is it right? And there comes a time when one must take a position that is neither safe, nor politic, nor popular but one must take it because it is right." ~Dr. Martin Luther King

A Merry Evening

The Council Chamber was a place of overflowing good cheer on Wednesday evening. It was very nice to see.

People from all sectors of the community were there to be recognised for contributions to Aurora's lifestyle.

Girl Guides,Boy Scouts, Big Sisters,Big Brothers.sports teams coaches and organisations were well represented.

Seniors' Club, Service Clubs, environmentalists, nature lovers, history buffs, heritage caretakers and book-readers were conspicuous in their presence
.
Everything these people do, they would do anyway without recognition but it's nice to get to-gether once a year and celebrate what is done well

Some were there with children and parents or spouses or colleagues, with cameras flashing.

They lingered behind which is always a sign people are enjoying the occasion.

And when people are enjoying an occasion, it generally means somebody took care of all the tiny details

You know, you can't buy that kind care and attention .

That's artistry.

That would be Shelley.
