Jim noted that Howard and Lisa Stapleton have brought special skills to FICRA and Trust that have been extremely valuable in managing the organizations.
Jim then shared that the intrepid Gina Olson ran for, and was elected to, the FICRA Board in 2013. Gina covered the minutes function for both boards for years, was a founding member and triage function lead of the Emergency Preparedness Team. And, she was designer, procurer, and sales person for the popular FICRA t-shirts among many other projects she has contributed to.
Joan Broughton, re-elected to the Audit Committee, was present, also, and Jim highlighted how she has been an mainstay in attending meetings and contributing to FICRA and the Trust since Jim, Joan, and Ray Kittelberger began the new administration in 2011.
Jim stressed that the good fortunes of FICRA and the Trust are really due to the amazing contributions of Fox Island volunteers over the years.
