Dear Friends,
This past year found me out of the office and in the hospital or rehab; this impacted my communications, responses and acknowledgements to CRAB’s many supporters. With the Board’s help, we are shifting things, so as Director of Strategic Planning, I can concentrate on reviewing opportunities for expansion of CRAB’s services. I will be seeking funding to pay for the projects to be embraced. I will also continue to manage CRAB’s donated boat program.
In order to meet the day-to-day operations needs, the Board has formed a Search Committee to bring aboard a new Executive Director. I will of course hold that position until a new Executive Director is appointed. I and the Board are energized for 2013.
We give a nod of thanks to Matt Rutherford for his courage and dedication to CRAB. Matt brought in a substantial base of funds so that we can think of CRAB’s future possibilities to expand our services to persons with disabilities. We will be forever grateful.
Don Backe
Executive Director, CRAB
