Fun Committee Fair PHOTOS

IT's a new year for our Center. Check out some Committee Fair photos!
Stay tuned to find out who signed up for which committee!

Committee Faire was great!

What a great meeting! I'm sure it had one of the highest attendances since I've been on the board. It was great. After discussing the usual business and hearing committee reports, the board adjourned for some snacks and visits to the beautiful committee tables to meet the chairpersons and decide which committee would be the best match for their talents! The Halloween Committee, chaired by Paige Christy, was decorated with a ghost and delightful witch finger cookies and other delicious sweets! The Bluemont Table had a gorgeous blue vase of home-grown flowers and the Memebership Table, chaired by Jen Chambers had enough energy to supply the whole room full of members and new members too!

We're certainly off to a great start! Look for a summary of the board minutes to follow! Next on the schedule for HAAC-Halloween. Come to center on Halloween Night, October 31, for some games, spooky music and lots of fun for everyone! Spoooooky!

First HAAC board meeting of the year!

The Hanover Arts and Activities Center Board of Directors met for the first meeting of this new year last night. At 6:00, the executive board welcomed new members with dinner and an informal meeting to share information about the center and the responsibilities of board members. Following a great dinner and lots of sweet desserts, the new members had a tour of the building and settled in for the first meeting of the fall. There was plenty to discuss and plans to be made for this winter. Our guest was Curtis Shifflet, professional grant writer who will be working with the board and our executive director to help bring more grants our way! Next month we're looking forward to a Committee Faire-chairs for the HAAC standing and special committees will be providing information to other members about committee meetings times, jobs and goals.
