We have completed the goals of the vision. One element of my vision for the year 2001 is for Emerson Unitarian Universalist Church to become renowned in the West San Fernando Valley as a Center for Learning and Literacy. We have begun an important step in this goal already. The Emerson DayCaring and PreSchool is establishing itself as a learning center and care center for children in the Valley. We do much more here than baby-sit kids whose parents work full time.
Parents come here to learn better parenting skills.
And children are nurtured and taught here in a loving and supportive environment. We have a lot to be proud of with this fledgling ministry we have begun. We have a first rate staff and a beautiful facility. And, as with any new business, we are in the painful struggles of the start-up year. We are short on cash and long on commitment.
