* * Our Theme: infinite possibilities * *
"Infinite" is Limitless or Endless! Impossible to measure or calculate.
"Possibilities" is the state or fact of being likely or possible.
If one has infinite possibilities, then one has a boundless expanse
in which to move, to think and to create.
Ask yourself: Where am I going when I jump in the car, grab my cellphone and try to sip my coffee all at once?
Infinite possibilities means, to jump out of that box, throw away the old
and listen with new ears and see with new eyes.
The infinite possibilities of exploring your ideas, our ideas,
and the world of ideas we live in.
Infinite Possibilities gives us hope, courage and freedom...
Freedom to grow.
The Oregon Federation of Republican Women is looking at
infinite Possibilities ofr our convention.
Let us share this vision with YOU, our members and
Let us share the Infinite Possibilities of 2007 - 2008, so we can
Embrace Tomorrow with more Infinite Possibilities.
infinite possibilities
