Our Strategic Plan


We formed a strategic plan in 2007, which is organized into four categories. Members can help up acheive our strategic plan by volunteering their talents and efforts through the many ccommittees and activities which address these priority areas.

You may read the complete strategic plan (pdf), “Aim High in Hope and Work: A Strategic Plan to Promote Community and Social Action."

2010 Review and Update:

The Plan was reviewed by the board of trustees in 2010 to assess our progress and to update our goals. You may read the summary of this review and a listing of the revised goals.

Creating Community:

We always need to nurture our community, taking care of each other in hard times, and appreciating each other in good times, so that our connections stay strong. The following committees address this priority area:
