FOUNDER’S MESSAGE
Summertime has a way of reinvigorating me
and getting me ready for the rest of the year. The farms are very busy with the crops in the fields, the harvests and distilling, more time with my family, and the opportunities to be outside and reconnect with nature. Lavender Days in Mona brought thousands of people to the farm to experience this beautiful harvest. To be a part of the farm operation and see Mother Nature give up her precious oils, motivates me to share this abundance with the world. The D. Gary Young, Young Living Foundation is part of who I am, and I care deeply about our many activities worldwide. Nothing is more rewarding than helping others in need. I am thrilled with the work in Uganda by members and staff who spent July there helping Sole Hope, which just opened a new center. Nepal, Ecuador, and other countries have also been so supported by thousands of our members. It’s easy to give to the Foundation by rounding up your orders or hosting a fundraiser using our new fundraiser aids explained on the Foundation website. Take advantage of the tools available through Young Living and many of our outside sources and work with your people to set specific goals to teach, educate, and help create excitement, growth, and even greater success within your organizations. This is a beautiful time of year to start the day with the warmth of the morning sun by perhaps
