                                                    How about Pakistan? That is where Cate Arnold, Club

                                                    unconnected choices and coincidences linked in a way

                                                    program was instrumental in getting Cate Arnold to

                                                    Pathways (and Toastmasters) ability to connect people

                                                    to become a Pathways Guide. She wanted to learn
