No, I have not been toasting the New Year early. I just believe that social change, like charity, begins at home. And, this is the perfect time to make those changes. As the 1900s end and the 2000s begin, the air buzzes with excitement. Ambitious plans are in store.
Hopeful predictions abound.
Everyone thinks something extraordinarily significant is going to happen in the new millennium. Well, it can. But it must start at home. This year, those lofty goals have a familiar, hometown ring to them. The New Year's Eve celebration in Newport involves ringing in 2000 with a giant bell dedicated to world peace.
