After more than a year of planning, permits, and insurance negotiations, the plan for the rebuilding of the Old School auditorium is ready for public viewing. Please join us on Tuesday, April 15, 2008, for the unveiling of the plans for the new Old School auditorium, presented by Bill Drewer of Quinn Evans/Architects, at our Annual Meeting, at 7 p.m. at the John Wesley Church in Waterford.

Before the reception at the Mill, we’ll have our official membership business meeting, where this year’s Honorees will be introduced; committee, officer, and Executive Director reports given; and new Directors and Nominating Committee elected.

The Nominating Committee (Bonnie Getty, chair; Valerie Custer, Bruce Cleveland, Bonnie Getty, Ed Lehmann, Phil Paschall, and Robbie Smith) have come up with an impressive group of nominations for new Directors, including the following:

Charlotte Gollobin
Robert E. Hale
Melanie L. Herman
DeSoto Jordan Jr.
Lori Kimball
Walter A. Music
Tom Simmons

(Download a copy of the nominees biographies as a PDF file.)

We’ll say good-bye and heartfelt thank yous to another group of impressive people who are stepping down from the Board this April: Jim Behan, Mark Beisler, Rich Biby, and Marilyn Gentry. Earlier in the year Edith Crockett, Ed Good, and Mary Ann Naber resigned, and recently Ann Goode has resigned to take up her new position as Manager of Development Programs for the Foundation. Join us to thank them for all their hard work.

You should have received your invitation in the mail, but if not, call 540-882-3018 or download a copy. The 2007 Annual Report of the Waterford Foundation will be available at the meeting or download a copy. I hope to see you there. While only members can vote, everyone is invited. Bring your neighbors who may want to get involved with the Foundation’s many upcoming events and activities. All are welcome.

Best,
Kathleen Hughes
President
