December Board meeting update

Hi all! Last week the Board met for the December board Meeting. Typically this is just a festive and fun meeting before the holidays. But, t his year, we had important work to do. Due to the economic conditions, our endowment has dropped significantly this year. The good news is that we are not alone in this. However, the Board thought it would be wise to evaluate our investment advisors and even hear from a new firm. So, we did just that. From now until the next board meeting, we will be chewing on the informaiton provided and will vote in January to determine who will manage our money between now and then. Let's just hope the market improves as well...

Hollydays!

I hope you all made it to hollydays this weekend. What a great event! It takes so much to pull off an event like this so I'd like to personally thank the committee, chairs (Andrea and Alice) and the Fundraising folks on the board (Susan and Elizabeth). Y'all are fantastic! We're still tallying the numbers but this Art and Gift Market appears to have been very close to hitting or exceeding our goal. In a tough economy that is fantastic! Thanks also to all the volunteers who worked over the weekend. A true group effort ladies!!!! Well Done!
