BIG DOIN'S..... Hi folks, On a more personal note, I have chosen not to run for another term as the board president. My wife Annette and I are gearing up for the summer farm season and have taken on a new business venture as well. This does not leave time for me to participate in the workings of the UMCC at the level that I believe is required for the momentum we have to grow and expand. I believe it can and will grow and expand with fresh leadership and ideas from a new president and the ongoing commitment of your competent working board. It seems almost inconceivable that nearly a year and a half has passed since I was chosen to serve as the board president at the UMCC. So many events, so many new people and so many projects! As we approach the annual meeting, I would like to thank all of you who have participated over the last 18 months for your help and support as the Center found a renewed sense of purpose and vitality. There are many events planned for the coming summer. Classes, potlucks, presentations,and the ice cream social are all in the book for the coming season. The Center will also welcome back the Sunday Produce Market as the weather turns back into summer. Stay tuned for an exact start date. GET INVOLVED..... I encourage all of you to find a way to get involved and make it a thriving resource for our community. It has been my pleasure to serve this community and I look forward to seeing all of you in the future at the Center. Thank you!
