"My parents shared not only an improbable love, they shared an abiding faith in the possibilities of this
nation. They would give me an African name, Barack, or blessed, believing that in a tolerant America your
name is no barrier to your success.” ~ Barack Hussein Obama – 44th President of the United States

As we celebrate the next step in your continuing journey of success, take time and reflect on the uniqueness
of your experience in PACE. It is an experience that many may have never imagined had it not been for an
undying faith in possibilities…an undying faith in possibilities that let you experience having Barack
Obama as President while in PACE, and today, having an opportunity to celebrate another momentous
occasion…the 35th Anniversary of PACE! Think about the significance of these occurrences as you set
your sights on the infinite possibilities ahead of you and as you realize your success stories…success
stories that will only be limited by the vividness of your imagination. Continue to be the best of the best.
