Where has our summer gone?  For that matter, when did it begin? 

It is hard to believe that we have completed the spring and summer equine sessions, the first ever canoeing program session and are starting the fall equine session.  It seems like just a short time ago that we were concerned about being able to start these sessions on time.  But with a lot of hard work from Dianna Schmaus, Cheryl Liedle, Haylee Otteson, Shelby Blixt, Debra Franklin, Glenn Johnson and all of the volunteers too numerous to name, these programs not only started on time but have been very successful.  A big thank you for a job well done. 

On a personal note, this will be my last message as President of EMH.  Holding this position has been an honor as well as a very rewarding experience. The generosity and kindness I have seen has renewed my faith in the goodness of people.  Numerous times in the past 2 ½ years I wondered if or where we would find the funds and the energy to continue and each time help appeared from an unexpected source.  On behalf of all of the participants that we serve and myself, a huge thanks to the Board, the staff, the volunteers and all of the community members and donors that allow Eagle Mount Helena to continue to serve people with disabilities.
