A few important words from the Manager
Spring is here and people are busy. Things are greening up and the farmers are finally able to get into the fields.
TAC is now moving ahead with our Scholarship plans. We have looked into different ways of setting up the funds and we are getting closer to a solution.
As some of you know the status of any non-profit is important when you are setting up and distributing funds for a scholarship. We are working on ways to handle all of these situations at our regular meeting.
TAC is in good hands with the current Board of Trustees. Varied interests and experience are what keep the ideas flowing.
As you are all aware, energy costs are now a part of everyone’s life. Nobody can not keep up with the energy costs that change on a daily basis. TAC is doing it’s best to conserve energy and natural resources and we would like to encourage all of you to do the same.
My message is short this month, but I wanted to let all of you know that we at TAC are aware that there are many challenges and daily issues that are affecting all of us and that we will do our part to take care of the needs of TAC.
Have a great spring & summer season.
Ross
