Anne Flick

Anne Flick expressed disappointment that FANS was not doing more to reach the younger children's and the adult population's needs in the parish. After much discussion, it was suggested that this was not due to a lack of mission on FANS part, but rather to a lack of human resources and fresh ideas geared in that direction.

It was decided that greater recruitment and involvement of these areas of need would be the first avenue to address Anne's concerns. All board member's and interested parties are asked to encourage parents of younger children and adult parishioners to consider running for board openings this spring.
