The past month has brought some changes to the MCF staff. Lisa McKean, who served for nearly nine years as the Managing Director of Marketing and Development, has moved on from MCF as of October first. I wish to thank and honor Lisa for her incredible service that grew MCF's fundraising and marketing efforts significantly during her tenure. The board and staff wish her well in her next endeavor.

As one door closes another quickly opened and we have been incredibly fortunate to welcome an accomplished Development professional to the MCF team. Jonathan Meer has joined us as the Director of Development and brings an incredible amount of experience that I know will enable us to further realize our strategic objectives.

Though change has been imposed upon all of us, it is my
hope you are able to have an enjoyable family gathering for Thanksgiving.

Sincerely,

William D. Kastning, AICP
Executive Director
