Tilak then introduced his theme for the next year “Service Without
Boundaries.” He shared his vision to serve people across the world regardless
of race, religion, nationality or any other boundary that separates a human
from fellow humans.
To close, Courtney Meola took the stage again to perform a lovely
rendition of “Somewhere Over the Rainbow.”
