CGI Elects New Executives
At their annual meeting on June 11, the Board of Directors of Creative Germantown Initiative (CGI) elected new executive officers. Brian Harris, immediate past vice president, was elected president. Ted Walkenhorst, immediate past president, was elected to vice president. Peter Smith was reelected treasurer. Each position carries a term of two years. The board is excited about these changes and looks forward to the continued dedicated service of these individuals and to the growth of the organization which helps carry out the mission of First Church.
The board wishes to express its deepest thanks to Ted Walkenhorst for his service over the last 3 years. He has been committed to the organization and has guided its direction with passion. Birthing a nonprofit is always a challenge and becomes a labor of love. Ted loves this organization; his past leadership combined with his willingness to continue to serve should be an example to all people of Christ-like passion and service.
Ted is but one member of the board; without the unyielding work of the rest of the board and many, many volunteers, much of the work would not get done. The board wishes to warmly and humbly thank all who have and do serve.
The board is always looking for new members. If anyone knows of an individual with a passion for the arts, youth, or Germantown as a whole, please pass along their name and con-tact information. You can also refer them to our website for a great overview of the programs. www.creativegermantown.squarespace.com. If you haven't visited our site lately, please do so. See what YOUR nonprofit is up to!
We are also always ready to embrace new volunteers. There are many options available from working with David Daugherty on the concert series events, to Freedom School with Eileen Jones (which kicked off on the June 27). Christian Heyer-Rivera can always use help in the high school drop-in center or with basketball and Kevin Por-ter is excited to have volunteers help with Bread and Cup.
Please feel free to contact Brian Harris with any questions, concerns, ideas, or anything at all!!
Again, Congratulations to the new board executives. May the Love of God and Peace of Christ guide their important work.
