Under her leadership we published the senior memoir project, The Voice of Memory , a collection of memoirs. Like All Around Us , this publication upped our visibility in the region. It is at once a challenge and a little bit scary to follow these two fine leaders who set the bar pretty high. Like Jack and Jeanne before me, I am blessed with an exceptional board of directors, people who are willing to work for the organization and the community. More than a third of these directors are serving on the board for the first time.
New blood is always good for any organization.
You don't grow unless you have fresh viewpoints, and we have the opportunity to do some really great things this year. Our web site is a great toot and Jo Ann has done a wonderful job putting it together. I hope all of you will take advantage of the Web Page. It is an important tool for all of us. In addition, a projects committee is up and running and is taking a long look at our projects and the future.
