		<description><![CDATA[By now, most of you have heard University of Tennessee's coach of women's basketball, Pat Summitt, share with the world that she has been diagnosed with early-stage Alzheimer's disease.  The news rocked the sports world and was the primary topic of sports radio call-in shows for several days, particularly in the southeast part of the country.

		<description><![CDATA[I'm sure that most of you have heard by now that history was made earlier this month at Yankee Stadium.  Derek Jeter connected for his 3000th hit, joining only twenty-seven other major league players who have accomplished the same milestone.

		<description><![CDATA[I am a strong advocate of the fact that we are all one community, whether we live down the street from one another or halfway around the world.  When we give back to others, we make life better for everyone and we most likely learn something along the way.  So, what can you and I do as individuals to help the people living in the Gulf region?

		<description><![CDATA[I can't take credit for my innate sense to give back.  The women on the right of the picture is my Aunt Mary and here is a great story of how she continues to  serve her community at the age of 93.
