George was an ordinary man, a stranger passing by who was propelled to greatness by his determination to help others, his passion, his commitment to excellence and to living by only the highest and best values.

Free from the terror of common misconceptions, George slew a dragon that was ravaging the town and rescued the king's daughter.  He shared new wisdom, confidence and courage with the townspeople before riding off, presumably to slay another dragon in different town. 

An outsider who was untouched by established fears and misconceptions, he acted on opportunities the townspeople could not see without his vision and leadership. 

We chose George because his courage, wisdom and determination exemplifies the essence of stewardship and dedication to excellence, the highest and best values and right courses of action.

The dragon represents all that holds us back and keeps us from being happy and free:  fear, anger, greed, misunderstanding, selfishness, ignorance, contention and oppression. 

The popular legend of St. George was carried throughout Western Europe by troubadours during the 14th century.  Its origin dates back 4th century Roman stories and possibly to Greek myths. 

St. George is the patron saint of Great Britain, the Boy Scouts, Palestine and many cities and groups.  His model of courage, honesty, wisdom and determination guides everything we do.
