At The Crack Of Dawn

About the Book

At the Crack of Dawn” is a story about teamwork. Each of our team members, individual and organization, brought a wealth of resource in the form of knowledge, experience, and diversity. Diversity in our experience was not limited to ethnicity alone but also different age groups, religious backgrounds, types of organizations, different cultures customs and national origin, and different socioeconomic backgrounds. To sum that up, our events included peoples from all walks of life. Engaging creativity and innovation through democratic processes, we were able to transform our meager financial resources into the production of desired objectives and outcomes, as discussed in this book. We had our high and low moments, and many in between. We did not stop in our tracks when the tunnel became darker. We moved forward wading our way through the darkness, holding each other’s hand in true team spirit taking one step at a time. We shared, cared and cheered until we were “At the Crack of Dawn”. I hope that this book will inspire others to continue moving forward in their volunteer work or what ever their progressive undertakings may be. I also assure you that engaging teamwork, and especially in these hard pressed, slow economic times, the synergy will transform your world. – God speed!
