2012 Year In Review
Each year around this time, as many are hustling to prepare for the Holiday Season and putting the finishing touches on things, at Pro-Activity, for a least a moment or two, we take a step back to reflect on the happenings, stories, events, and achievements of those we've connected with in this most recent chapter of our collective journey. And while it takes a decent amount of effort (like all good things), the fulfillment and appreciation that comes with remembering the past, and all those who have played a part, is more than enough reward to fuel the future. Assuredly, 2012 is one to remember! So before we move forward into 2013, please take a few moments to share in celebrating some highlights in each ELEMENT of 2012; and know that our hearts are filled with gratitude for you, and your decision to be with us, as members of the greater Pro-Activity family, along the way.
