Becoming Inspired and Moved, truly moved  to
Action by Randy Pausch's "Last Lecture" Video

    Carnegie Mellon Professor Randy Pausch (Oct. 23, 1960 - July 25, 2008) gave
    his last lecture at the university on Sept. 18, 2007, to a packed auditorium
    and has since been viewed the world over. In his moving presentation,
    "Really Achieving Your Childhood Dreams," Pausch talks about his
    lessons learned and gives advice on how to achieve their own career
    and personal goals.
His life story, outlook on life, and philosophy
on dealing with challenges and adversity is
not only inspirational and motivational but
leaves the viewer with a renewed sense of
hope, conviction, and purpose.

PURE INSPIRATION!

 So sorry everyone - we completely forgot that Ash Wednesday services are this Wed.
 So that we don't cause a scheduling conflict with those who wish to attend services and
 since the Ascension parking lot will be full, there will be no Vocare meeting this Wed.

 We will resume with our next, regularly-scheduled meeting on March 14 (Lenten services
 will be taking place but parking will be a little lighter (especially if you show up early).
MEETING CANCELED!
