Congrats!
Congratulations to Village Commons founder Gerald Cound!
The Clinton Foundation selected Gerald to be the Clinton Library's honorary Two Millionth Visitor because of his lifetime of public service. Gerald shares the honor with educator Dr. Ann Robinson of UALR.
Citing the words of Bengali poet, dramatist and philosopher Rabindranath Tagore, Gerald's acceptance speech was simply this: “I slept and dreamt that life was joy. I awoke and saw that life was service. I acted and behold, service was joy.”
