 President's Announcements

At our June 22th meeting, President-Elect Joe presided over the meeting. He mentioned how pleased he was with the result of Pancake and Family Fun Day and also shared Carol's comments that she also thought it went very well.

There will be a meeting of the Board of Directors on June 29th at 5:30 at Maureen Cody's house in Lakeville--thank you Maureen for hosting.

Please note, there will be NO MEETING on July 6th.

Kit thanked her committee and to all the prize donors for a successful raffle at Pancake and Family Fun Day. She had a total of 39 raffle prizes which generated $625 in income. The scratch ticket sales generated an additional $620, for a total of $1,245 exceeding her goal of $1000. Her note for next year--more kid-specific raffle prizes.

Dave C. was very pleased with how the compromise set up worked out. He has received checks from 90% of corporate sponsors. One indication of how well things went is the $596 in snow cone sales (of which we get 20%) which was higher than last year. Dave has received very positive feedback from vendors, all of whom would like to be involved again in the future. 

Finally, if you would like to spend a day with the young ladies visiting from Taunton, England please reach out to Ed's daughter Missy or wife Claire who are taking the lead in organizing the schedule. They will be here July 1 though July 13.

Program Speaker

Claudia presented the Adult Foster Care program as a way for families to connect some of the support options in their community to better serve adults living with physical or developmental challenges.
