prosperity to others who seek more
active lives.
There is less of poverty and less OF
hardship in this beautiful city than IN
anv other city of it's size. New OPP
portunities are constantly occurring to
those already here and to the new
comers. Opportunities for work and
for investment, or for obtaining
