PRESIDENT’S MESSAGE
 |
Dear Members,
The June 20th Community Assistance League (CAL) meeting that is this year’s “Celebration of Giving” is especially appropriate.
Being on the Board during this time was like being on a rocking boat in a hurricane, we were dealing new instabilities every month. I want to thank those on the Board for sticking with it, making things happen while things were changing, talking through the tough decisions, and keeping Community Assistance League on track with its mission.
★ Thank you Beth Drain! As Vice President you were my sounding board, the voice of reason and the one who was always there when I need to be talked off the edge.
★ Thank you Joyce Price! Your calmness was therapeutic. You were the stabilizer. Also, great job with taking the PowerPoint presentations up a notch.
★ Thank you Linda Gibbs! As treasurer you were consistent and diligent in keeping the books accurate and on schedule. I am so proud of how you have successfully navigated your learning curve regarding technology.
★ Thank you Diane Arrants! for sticking with us to the end. We miss you.
