“I think a hero is any person really intent on making this a better place for all people.” —Maya Angelou
Want to be a hero? It is so simple! Just try doing some of the following:
Picking up your pet’s feces when walking in our beautiful SaddleBrooke community;
Staying on the golf cart path when walking on our golf courses;
Recycling;
Making a complete stop at stop signs here in SaddleBrooke rather than rolling through them;
Volunteering for a cause here in SaddleBrooke;
Understanding that everyone is entitled to his/her opinion;
Appreciating the work our golf course marshals do—every day;
Appreciating the diversity (e.g., race, religion, ethnicity, gender) in our culture;
Recognizing the fact that our common areas and golf course caretakers work extremely hard to keep SaddleBrooke looking in tip-top shape;
Supporting the arts here in SaddleBrooke;
Allowing for the fact that our restaurants can, at times, be short-staffed, so be patient;
Tipping your servers for the hard work they do;
Standing up when the national anthem is played;
Removing your hat when the national anthem is played;
Appreciating our veterans and those who are currently serving in the Armed Forces;
Supporting local businesses—whenever possible;
Donating to, or shopping at, the Golden Goose Thrift Shop;
Choosing not to climb into the ditches on our golf courses to save your $3 golf ball (thereby averting a serious injury); and (finally) …
Reviewing and considering all of these hero suggestions!
