2025 Annual Report

Dear Cedars Community Members:

This has been our second exciting year for The Cedars Education Program. I have been honored to serve as the President of this young organization and I have been very fortunate to have a talented and energetic Board of Directors. Each member of the Board has worked diligently to fulfill their responsibilities and has added to the strength of the organization. Board Members are: Charles Coble, Vice President and Co-Chair of the Grants Committee; Albert Gard, Treasurer; Dede Hall, Events Chair; Frances Gravely, Communications and Public Relations Chair; Frances Campbell, Co-Chair of the Grants Committee; Nancy Buell, Paula Sloan and Jack Pendray. Additionally, we have a more than 115 volunteers who work on our committees and we all greatly appreciate their hard work. We were saddened in May to lose a founding member of our Board, Marcia Hansen. She had made extraordinary contributions to our growing organization and is greatly missed

We are pleased to announce that we exceeded our program and financial goals again during the second year. This will enable us to move into the new year the necessary resources to provide grants to our employees in the coming months and to explore new programming. In addition to my gratitude to the Board and volunteers, and support staff at The Cedars, I would like to thank the Members of the Cedars for their strong support of our young organization. Thank you all.
