The Charlois Co.

Friday, February 17th, 2023

On August 28, 1963 a crowd of 250,000 listened to Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. give his famous “I have a dream,” speech from the steps of the Lincoln Memorial.  It was just another example of the prophecy of Joel.  “…I will pour out my spirit on all flesh; your sons and daughters shall prophesy, your old men shall dream dreams, and your young men shall see visions.” Joel 2:28b NRSV.  In the last days; and it shall truly be our last days if we continue on the path we are on.

Every great movement had at its heart a dream or vision that propelled people to action.  We are hoping that the Charlois movement is the same, for we, its founders have within our hearts a dream for a better way. 

We believe that in order for the human species to reach its full potential, and thus the survival of this planet, we call home, to be assured; we are going to start putting ourselves to the side and consider instead, what is best for all.  This is opposite of the way things are in large part today.  It’s a dog eat dog world, where most of us are out to drain all good from others in order to raise ourselves to an elusive pinnacle of success.

We further believe that if we join together, as one body, that there is an abundance available to all.  No more of this chasm between those that have and those that don’t.  With everyone working for the good of all everyone prospers.

That is what Charlois is trying to do.  “Helping Improve Lives, Because We Care.”  It is more than just a motto, but instead it is our battle cry.  By initiating jobs, programs, and causes; we hope to change the way this world operates.

So, stay tuned as we’ll be sharing more of the vision in the weeks ahead.  Until then, keep the faith and hope alive.  God bless.
