"Chosen to Illuminate: Celebrating St. Lucy's Day and Florence Nightingale's Legacy" Step into the chapel interior, where The Visitation fresco reveals a divine encounter. Just as Florence Nightingale chose her path of compassion, she arrived at the seat of war in her carriage, embodying hope amidst chaos. In Proverbs XXII:1, it is said that a good name is chosen over riches; such was the life of St. Matthias Martyr who fearlessly spread his message despite persecution. Serjeants at Law admired glass ceilings shattered by their determination. As Artie Frost measured instruments aboard RMS Titanic, he understood the gravity of precision in an unforgiving sea - a responsibility not taken lightly by those chosen for this task. Lea Hurst stood tall as home to Florence Nightingale, where she tirelessly strategized ways to revolutionize healthcare. Her carriage became a symbol of dedication and progress on wheels. Embark on an exhilarating journey with GAME: BOOMAN. Chosen players navigate challenges and make strategic choices to emerge victorious - just like Lady Air Traveller in 1929 who defied societal norms to soar high above expectations. Today we celebrate those chosen ones who bring light into darkness, heal wounds with love, break barriers with resilience, measure success through diligence, and inspire change against all odds.
