Happy New Year!

GNASH, the Predators Mascot, was on hand to help Gerry Helper, Predators Foundation President (left), present a grant to Tricia and Sallie that will help begin the Bridges Youth Fitness Initiative.

Once again, it’s the start of a new fiscal year, and I’m thrilled!  Time to start over – new board members (not that the old ones are bad), fresh supplies, a clean slate.  It’s a great time to be part of the planning and excitement. 

But in all the planning and organizing for next year and beyond, I don’t want us to forget to celebrate all that happened this year.  We have a new website, expanded after-school and wellness programs, the first ever successful fundraising event for the Minnie Pearl scholarship program…the list goes on.  (We celebrated today with candy! Actually, how I celebrate everything around here…)

Even the challenges - a difficult economy, a name change, a flood, a construction site in our back yard – have given us strength and courage to ask for help. 

If I’m excited and certain about one thing, it is this - the New Year will bring about more change for Bridges.  I hope we continue to celebrate the great things we do in this community, learn from the past, and work hard to make a difference every day.

Happy New Year!  Come see us soon.

Sallie
