IML JUDGES

Ladies and Gentlemen, Esteemed Judges, Friends & Chosen Family,

I was sent here by my part of our community to represent them and possibly you.

We wield a large portion of the so called disposable income in the world, depending on the source, between $400 and $650 BILLION in America alone and an equally impressive portion throughout the rest of the world.

But we don’t always give that much needed monetary support to our own.

I refer to the businesses owned by the men & women in our community who have chosen to put their very livelihood in our hands.

Many struggle at a loss or if they are lucky break even. Many more end up closing for lack of support by the very people who they are trying to serve, US!

If we don’t support our own who will?

We as a community owe it to them, to ourselves to spend this powerful resource on our future!

When you go home, do a little research, find out who your local business owners are and support them!

In closing,

I’d like to thank my sponsor The Bolt and the Sacramento community as a whole for their support & trust and the opportunity to represent them here at IML!

Good Night and Play Safely!
