 Letter from the President April 21, 2003
- Hello Frost Friends,
-
-
- On March 26, 2003, Frost's 129th
birthday, the fourth annual meeting
of the corporation was held at a luncheon at McMoreland's Restaurant
in Bennington.
-
- Here are some highlights from the
President's report: FoRF acquired
the Stone House on May 31, 2002 and opened it to the public on
September 14. We operated through December 31 and welcomed over
1500 visitors during 3-1/2 months of operation.
-
- The Frostfriends website continues
to gain cyber- visitors and now exceeds 100,000 annually. Visitors
logged in from 65 countries.
-
- Our membership has grown to approximately
300, including the people who generously supported the campaign
to acquire the house. We hope these Friends will continue to
love and support this house and our wonderful plans for the future.
Many responded in the fall to renew their membership and we hope those who did not renew will
take a moment now and send in their dues. This support
- is vital for the many challenges
we now have as "homeowners."
-
- Our major financial obstacle is
a $200,000 mortgage. Income from operating the museum is an unknown
factor and at the end of the year we must have enough to pay
the bills over the winter. The best way to future success is
to pay off the mortgage. If we could do that, it would make all
the difference.
-
- On a personal note, it has been
a privilege to lead this organization and this community in creating
a great and enduring tribute to Robert Frost. Our beginning has
been nothing short of miraculous.
- My thanks to the FoRF board and
to all our contributors who believed this into being. We
are working hard to keep the promise
of the future alive and well.
-
-
- Yours in Frost,
Carole Thompson
