Dear WGC Donors and Friends,

It's a new year, with new opportunities ahead of us. 

 

Many thanks to those of you who gave so generously during our 2011 Annual Appeal - it's not too late to make a donation in support of our work.

 

And while we have new opportunities before us this year, we are taking a moment to reflect on the last 10 years since the WGC began. Please register and join us at our 2012 Annual Meeting & Celebration on March 19, 2012 - we look forward to celebrating
a decade of accomplishments with you!
 

 

I'd like to thank Cynthia Taliano for her wonderful work as our Chair the last two years. We are fortunate that Cynthia will continue on our Executive Committee this next year. And, I would like to welcome our new Board of Directors. 

 

I am honored to be your Chair for the next two years. Please don't hesitate to contact me. There's a lot going on, and many ways to get involved. Join us.

  

Sincerely,

Caroline Sherman, Chair
