President’s Letter Dear Community 2000 Friends: As I write to you nearing the end of our 12^th year, we’re seeing the results of a tough economy -- the number of Community 2000 donations and the dollars received to date suggest that we will be down significantly in both from 2010. Since momentum is a significant part of our vision (we still hope someday to have 2000 annual contributors), we’re asking for a year-end contribution that is comfortable for your budget with the hope we will again reach the 500 total contributions figure that we achieved for the first time last year. If you have already given this year, we ask that you consider an additional contribution so that we can continue our efforts to grow scholarship and educational project awards, helping future community leaders and raising the quality of education in the Chariho schools. Not all is doom and gloom! We have another great group of 29 scholarship winners as usual, one tool award to a deserving carpentry student, and the CCEP Golf Tourney in September set a record for income after expenses of more than $32,000 despite having significantly fewer players from 2010 -- meaning that we did a great job of reducing expenses and setting a record for tee sponsorships. And, we’re still optimistic that we will see a significant year-end rally in the Market, which would be very welcome in pushing our endowments to higher levels. The 2010 Strategic Project that we funded was an electronic classroom in the Charlestown Elementary School. It has been a great success, and over time we hope to fund electronic classrooms in all four of the elementary schools. We’re just about to fund the fall round of Innovative and Strategic Project Grants -- more about these when I send our annual letter in March. As always, we’re happy to hear from you with questions by phone (401 322 1182) or email (jchrisphilips@aol.com). Wishing you and your family a very happy holiday season, Christopher Philips President, Community 2000 Education Foundation
