The Circle's motto, which depicts my goals for the Worldwide
Circle of Friends is:
“A ball is a circle. No beginning, no end.
It keeps us together, like our Circle of Friends;
but, the treasure inside, for you to see
is the treasure of friendship you've granted to me.
Today I pass the friendship ball to you. Pass it on to someone who
is a friend to you.”
