WELCOME! Greetings!
Spring is the time of year for renewal and growth. We welcome in fresh air and are renewed with the excitement of summer and outdoor activities. MAYRA is no different. Each Spring its time for renewal and a time to refresh. On Monday, April 21, 2014 MAYRA held our annual meeting. In April we meet and ask members of our organization to join us for discussions, financial information and the election of new board members.
Each year there are also three 3‐year terms on the Board of Directors that need to be filled. This year all three of our incumbent board members chose not to run for re‐election. Luke Athey, Kris Radeke and Sheila Swenson. Kris Radeke and Sheila Swenson, have been long standing Board Members. Their guidance and involvement has been a great asset to all of our youth programs. A simple thank you does not seem like enough!
the board brings something unique to the table. Knowledge, talent, time and the commitment to our community and the kids we serve.
If you are new to our association or have been a member for a long time, it’s always good to be reminded what the mission of our organization is.

MAYRA encourages your participation! Time is limited for all of us, but our youth are one of our greatest assets and they are only young for a short period of time.

Your time, effort, constructive feedback and continued support is appreciated and valued. Sincerely, Patti Miller MAYRA President
