LINK LIFE IS A GIFT
A Link life is a gift that is used everyday:

Homelessness, hopelessness, starvation, water wells, global concerns ... wherever there is despair.
The Arts promotes creative vistas which would liberate us all
To be more humane, to appreciate God-given talents and answer the call.
Links impact the quality of life through community service for humankind in need.
Our organizational vision clarifies our purpose for each and every deed.
Service in Linkdom is simply a way of life -
Whether a doctor, a teacher, a lawyer plus mother and wife.
A Link life is a gift that even the humblest may boast of
And it's one that the humblest may well make the most of.
No apology for the good life, for it s earned and one we all deserve;
And it's all the more reason to remember to give back and to serve.
Links, we're reaffirming our service commitment, expanding linkages, and living each hour of the day.
A link life is a great gift, wear it with pride, prestige, and use it as much as you may.
Avoid negative niches, conceited concerns, solicitous souls and greedy grooves.
Give thanks, touch lives, serve more, strengthen the chain - that's when the good life improves.
