Show March, 2000 ProvoOrem Chamber of Commerce Monthly Sewsletter Page' Orem Mayor speaks at Women's Division luncheon BY: AMY POOLE PRO VO -Orem Mayor Jerry Washburn spoke about the dynamics dy-namics of change and the importance of community involvement involve-ment at the Provo Orem Chamber of Commerce's Women's Division monthly luncheon in February. "As we envision the future of our community, our families and our individual lives, we must recognize that change will happen. Our choice is to either just let it happen, or to take New Restaurant Brings Brazil to Provo charge; and even in the boring meetings of life, broaden our vision, listen to opinions, do our homework and direct the change for good," Mayor Washburn said. Mayor Washburn said that people need to be pro-active and adjust to change with enthusiasm. People cannot stop the aging ag-ing process nor can they stop some of the negative changes in the community. However, people can improve the quality of their lives by good diet and exercise, reducing stress through service, becoming involved in community affairs, replacing anger and contention with laughter and passing on a tradition of wise leaders to their children, he said. The need for the Human Relations Advisory Commission was illustrated when some of the Orem City councilmen alluded that there are problems with prejudice and racial discrimination discrimina-tion in Orem, he said. Mayor Washburn explained that in order or-der to decrease racism, citizens must understand the need for awareness of racism on a personal level. "I would ask you to review in your personal lives and your public department if there are things that we do or say that offend others-something as seemingly simple as flying a flag, or using caricatures as mascots, offend and aggravate ethnic tensions," Mayor Washburn said. He also said the way we treat each other as individuals, in families, or in a public setting is the major ingredient to a "good quality of life." Mayor Washburn ended his speech with words by Thomas Jefferson who said, "There is a debt of service due from every man to his country, proportioned to the bounties which nature and fortune have measured to him." Mayor Lewis Billings will speak at the next Women's Division Divi-sion luncheon on March 23 at The Restaurant Roy. One way to become involved in civic improvement is to join the Women's Division.
