Executive Director End of Summer Report
Dear Members,During the summer we noticed a significant drop in attendance in the playroom, but we totally understand given how crazy hot it was upstairs during those smoldering high temperatures! Just realizing that the cooler days of fall are approaching reminds us that the playroom will soon be buzzing and staff will happily be welcoming new families and returning members.Over the summer months I have been very busy writing grants, recruiting new Board members, and establishing a strategic planning process that will be underway this month. During this process we will be focusing on the physical capacity of the organization and determining if a new building will be our first priority! I would love to hear from our membership and welcome your comments, thoughts and ideas. If you would like to send me an email This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it., I will include your communication in my report to the Board during strategic planning.Looking forward to another fantastic year at MPFCS!
With Kind Regards,
Gini Bonner, ED MPFCS |
