ELECTION RESULTS

Pres - Ruth Hagglund
Pres Elect - Alan Treisbach

DUES
Nine of our members are 4+ months overdue in paying their dues.  Numerous reminders have been issued.  This creates a problem for our club since it represents almost 30% of our operating income. If you owe dues, please contact the Club Secretary immediately and make arrangements. Don't force the board to take action next month because we didn't hear from you.
Thank you for your cooperation.
 
EXPENSES
Also, as we close the fiscal year there are a number of large budgeted projects forecast where expenses have not been turned in. We will be closing the books next month for the funding year. It is very important to turn all reimbursement receipts in in a timely manner before closing. This is imperative as once the budget money goes unspent, budget funding can not be carried over to the next fiscal year even if you acquire the receipt the prior year and there is no guarantee of new budget money.
Therefore please have all project expense receipts turned in to the secretary before June 15th if you hope to be reimbursed.

Our Club is filling a table at the dinner.
Come out to this important district event to thank District Governor Diane Donaher and welcome DGE Katie Farrell as she begins her year as Governor.

NANCY VENNER- A STEPUP ACADEMY
 
NANCY VENNER-  A STEP UP ACADEMY
 
 
Last Thursday, the Club welcomed NANCY VENNER, Director of Advancement for A STEP UP ACADEMY, an organization dedicated to providing an "Integrated Education for children with Autism" in a compassionate, child-led environment  that features one-on-one teaching, adapted to the specific needs of the individual child. The school accepts all cases of children with Autism, including those with multiple other conditions that, in many other places, would not be accepted.  They serve kids from pre-school through the age of 20, and have programs set up to prepare students for the world buy giving them the opportunity to work in community businesses as part of their formal education. 
 
 
A Step Up Academy was founded in 2013, and Nancy has been with the them for several years and has seen it grow to where they now carry 67 students a year. 
They have their annual fundraiser on August 24, and welcome all to attend. (see notice below)
 
We Thank Nancy for visiting us and telling of of this valuable organization in our community.
Contact them at 215-885-1075. or Info@AStepUPAcademy.org
