If you go to about minute 17, it is us. We were first up...

It was exceedingly apparent that the Governor's Council is the product of the two most important blocks of Coach Wooden's Pyramid of Success: industriousness and enthusiasm. Without those two blocks, nothing else is possible.

Kenny Rogers, Executive Director, Jake Steinfeld, Council Chairman, and Karla Borromeo, Project Director made the day comfortable, enjoyable, and so incredibly special for us all.  Walking in, they knew my name, my son's name, and welcomed us with open arms.  The ceremony was equal parts pep rally and dignified ceremony...cheeky, entertaining, and simultaneously 100% mission-focused.

WE MUST HELP OUR KIDS RECLAIM THEIR HEALTH.

Best quote that I remember from the morning reception:

Our kids are our future, and if our kids aren't healthy, we have nothing. -Jake Steinfeld

Best thing said to me onstage right after a medal and a hug: 

YOU are doing it big time! - Arnold Schwarzenneger

WE are doing it big time.  What we are doing is working!  Last week, I received calls from schools in inner cities, schools in fancy ocean view neighborhoods, and schools in hard working suburbs.  They all have the same issues...getting kids healthy and reconnected to school, their commmunities, and themselves. 

We are in this TOGETHER.  Be sure to stay connected and join or bookmark our Facebook page, and even follow our periodic tweets!  The website calendar is a great way to stay on top of upcoming events, and if you have an event to add, shoot us an email with your info and we will add it...no matter where you are!
