A Beautiful Feel Good Story

Please watch the following video clip -- it is a story of Johnny, the grocery store bagger.

It is very short, but it will remind you of why and how we make an impact in what we do.

You may even want to share it with others, and I hope you will.

It's amazing how one young Down's Syndrome bagger made such a wonderful impact on those customers lucky enough to have Johnny bag their groceries!
