Our seasons are turning to spring, and as we look forward to warm weather and sunshine, we continue to enjoy the activities and events that make us happy at the Danish American Center. Our calendar is full of exciting activities for members, and we are in the planning stages for some new initiatives. At the last board meeting, some significant initiatives became a reality. Firstly, the Board formalized the hiring plan for a new office administrator. We have received applications from several qualified candidates, and we eagerly anticipate hiring a manager to help us with the day-to-day operations of the DAC. The board also made a change to the committees, establishing a development committee. This new committee, headed by EJ Gurley, will work together with the finance committee to plan and initiate new fundraising strategies.
