The Threshold Housing Society held its Annual General Meeting on June 27th. With about forty people present, it was a wonderful night embracing the energy of the Staff who work with youth daily and the Board Members who support them. The meeting begun with short but exuberant talks by Rebekah Humphrey, House Supervisor of Holly House, Tara Skobel, SHY Program Coordinator, and Peggy English, Life-Skills Coordinator. The stories, the program descriptions, and the explanations of what happens on a daily basis gave members and visitors a wonderful insight into the trials and triumphs of youth care.
Richard Couch, Rebekah Humphrey, Peggy English, Sabrina Kunz (Director), Tara Skobel, Mark Muldoon (Executive Director), and Dan Fraikin (Board DIrector) in the forefront.
The second half of the meeting was moderated by Mr. Richard Couch, Chair, and Dave Lefsrud, Board Member. In the course of the meeting, six new Board Members were nominated and farewells given to Richard Couch as the outgoing chair and Bob Porter, the outgoing Treasurer. Both Richard and Bob gave selflessly over the number of years they served on the Board of Directors and each was acknowledged for their contribution to the continued success of the Society.
