Another amazing luncheon speaker. Ron Anderson used the story of his life to illustrate the importance of service to others. Anderson, who grew up in difficult circumstances, explained that at one point in his childhood he lived without utility services and without a coat to keep warm. He told the rapt audience that he was given a coat by a neighbor who saw him walking to school in mid-winter in his shirtsleeves.

Anderson said that act of service by his neighbor saved him and the acts of service by those in the audience save the people they help. He pointed out that service is based on caring and described service as "perpetual and generational." Anderson explained that helping one person effects the lives of others. He said helping one person in need also helps the other members of their household and in turn helps the generations that follow.

"Service not only changes those you help, it helps you," Anderson said.
