It is with much regret that we inform you that Alton Danner’s father Alton Danner, Sr. passed away on December 4, 2013.  Mr. Danner was an icon of Lincolnton and a World War II Veteran.  Anyone who knew Mr. Danner would say that he was a very fine gentleman.  He was loved by all that knew him, and he will truly be missed by his family and friends.

Please keep Alton and his family in your thoughts and prayers.

Alton is our Building Maintenance Foreman in the Community Services Department.

Attitude

The longer I live, the more I realize the impact of attitude on life.  Attitude, to me, is more important than education, than money, than circumstances, than failures, than success, than what other people think or say or do.  It is more important than appearance, giftedness, or skill.  It will make or break a company… a church… a home.  The remarkable thing is we have a choice everyday regarding the attitude we embrace for that day.  We cannot change our past… we cannot change the fact that people act in a certain way.  We cannot change the inevitable.  The only thing we can do is play on the one string we have, and that is our attitude.  I am convinced that life is 10%  what happens to me and 90% how I react to it.  And so it is with you…we are in charge of our ATTITUDES.
