Change
Change. It is a word that has meant so many different things to people in our country over the last year. For some people it meant opportunity, for others unexpected difficulties. For some this word brings hope, for others concern. Like each of our families, the children and families we serve continue to face challenges and at times, their hope is replaced with concern that can quickly slide into despair.
While Anchorage has been no stranger to change this year, we have worked tirelessly to ensure that we remain an anchor in the storms of life for these children and families. In this year’s report you will hear the stories of children and families we have served. Through our cooperative participation in the endeavors of Anchorage during 2008-2009, each of us has touched these lives and the lives of many like them. Whether participating as a contracting agency, community partner, board member, staff member, donor, volunteer, or other support to Anchorage, the value that each of us brings to the challenges we face is essential for our continued success.
This year we celebrated our 25th anniversary and bid farewell to our dear friend Barb, who lead us well for 25 blessed years. Over the next 25 years, I am sure many things will change, but let each of us be committed to ensure that one thing never does: that we will care for children and families in need reflecting the Christian values that have brought us this far. As we do so, I am sure that God will be faithful to bless us and those we serve, as He always has in the past.
Thank you for all you do.
