Dear friends, For the most part, this past year was a wonderful one for VINE. As you review the charts and information included in the pages of our 2008 Annual Report, you’ll clearly see that much good was accomplished through the efforts of our fine volunteers, committed staff and faithful donors. A record number of people received a helping hand from our staff and volunteers, and we’ve included several stories about the impact on our service. In May of 2008, we received the unfortunate news that a long-funded grant for services to help seniors remain living in their homes ($239,000 or 24% of our proposed FY 2009 budget) was not funded. Community members immediately opened their hearts and checkbooks to VINE, providing us with emergency funding—and a year of grace—to re-vision VINE without the hard-earned state grant that we’d depended on for eleven years. Under the capable direction of VINE’s board of directors, we are choosing to remain focused on the basics upon which the organization was founded. VINE’s primary calling is to coordinate volunteers and services to help people with “long-term health needs or difficult life circumstances.” Those of us who love VINE and believe in the importance of neighbors helping neighbors are working very hard to preserve the organization. We are writing grants, meeting with potential funders and exploring every possible means to safeguard the infrastructure that has been built since 1995. Please continue to help us now to assure that VINE’s important work can continue—and pray for VINE that the resources needed to fulfill our mission will be provided. Faithfully, Pam Determan 1 EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR’S LETTER Pam Determan
