2012 Board Retreat

Our 2012 Board Retreat was held on Saturday, February 25th at Wildhorse Resort Hotel. Our focus was on marketing and updating our 2012 plan.

Several community members donated their time, energy, and expertise to bring us presentations on how to more effectively use Social Media, Newspapers, and Radio. 

A big THANK YOU to each of the following:  Lisa Farquarhson, Tom Brown, and Angela Pursel!!!

Another big THANK YOU to Rebecca Hendricks, who gave a presentation on making fundraisers effective, and to Mark Ettesvold, who helped us review and update our marketing strategy.
