            "The Magic of Skye:  How One Person Can Still Make a Difference in

              These Troubled Times"

              The Isle of Skye, located off the northwest coast of Scotland, is a magical, mysterious, and mythical place rumored to be touched by the hand of God.  When Dr. Molidor heard that, he knew he had to check it out for himself.

               

              Come join us as Dr. Molidor talks about one of his adventures to the Isle of Skye and about the numerous individuals who played a role in helping him reach his destination and who made a unique difference on this journey. In this session, we will look at some of the people, traits, and qualities that can still make a difference in the lives of others.
