From The President
Can you believe that over half the year has passed? In that time we’ve made great strides within our organization.
We have a new office and classroom space in Danville, which has been phenomenal for our kids and staff. The Open House that was held in March had a huge showing of support with many of our members, donors and fellow Danville Chamber of Commerce members in attendance. Thank you to everyone for helping to make our Grand Opening at the new location a success!
The Bowl-A-Rama event that was held in May was also a huge success! The bowling lanes were filled to capacity and we had some fabulous raffle and auction items donated. Our fundraising goal was met and we couldn’t have had a better time.
Our most challenging months of the year are ahead of us for fundraising. Being in a larger classroom space, serving more children and expanding our programs comes with added costs. We ask for your continued support of attending our events, donating your time for our event committee positions, and considering joining our Board of Directors. These are the most effective ways to ensure that our non-profit organization will continue to thrive.
We are looking for Committee Members for events. There are volunteer positions available for the Gala, Buddy Walk and Holiday Party. If you have a few free hours a week and would like to volunteer your time and ideas we’d love to hear from you.
The Board of Directors is also seeking qualified individuals to assist with our fundraising efforts and ideas for new events, or to make our existing events better. If you, a friend, family member, neighbor or work colleague is interested in becoming a Board Member we welcome a visit at our next Board Meeting on August 17th.
Again, thank you to all of our members, donors, sponsors, teachers, staff and board members for making the world a better place for all who take part in our services.
Your calls and emails are welcome at any time. Maura Perkins 888.654.8884 Ext. 1 or email: mperkins@mkni.com.
