LETTER FROM DON CROCKER
Thank You!
 

As we rapidly come to the close (gasp - "already?") of 2011, I want to take this time to say "Thank You!" to all of the dedicated professionals that my colleagues and I have had the honor and privilege of working with this year.  "Thank You!" to all of our wonderful, accomplished clients, nonprofit professionals, volunteer facilitators, affiliated consultants, grantmaking partners, and staff.
 
The world we are living in today presents challenges - daily - to the health and vitality of our families, neighborhoods, and communities. Nonprofit and philanthropic leaders work to provide access to the basic necessities of life for everyone, and improve the quality of life we all can experience.  We at the Support Center believe that focused, impact-oriented, well-managed nonprofit organizations make a difference.  We are grateful for the opportunity to work in an environment of commitment, compassion, and care.
 
Wishing everyone a healthy, peaceful, and joy-filled holiday season, and a very happy New Year!  We look forward to continuing to make a difference with you in 2012!
