appeared in my office just before the holidays with a
gift in the form of the book One Word, I found myself
once again reflecting on what lay ahead. I wrote down
my hopes and dreams for myself and my family in 2020
and began to see a theme emerge.
My word shining back at me was FORWARD. I had
begun a new chapter and was excited about all the
possibilities in forging a path FORWARD. That one
word does change the way I think, and with some
vigilance on my part, act. Inspiring to be my best, it is
my hope that FORWARD will shape the context of my
daily life, and help me not live in the past, but instead
embrace the future and all it holds.
I invite each of you to do the same simple exercise
and see what ultimately speaks to you. A copy of ONE

The Nitty Gritty
about Committees

The Residents Association of Plymouth Harbor is an important part of the
community that helps our campus function. It runs solely on the basis of
20 committees and their volunteer residents.
Each committee is headed by a chairperson who oversees the functions of
the group, and it also has a Plymouth Harbor team member who serves as
a liaison. For the remainder of this year, The Harbor Light will highlight the
duties and happenings of many committees around campus.
The committees serve two important purposes — one is to involve residents

and include them in the decision-making process of many aspects of the
life at Plymouth Harbor. The second is to aid the two-way communication

between residents and management.
Please enjoy the journey of highlighting these various committees!
