Message from the Executive Director

Seasons greetings, Extension friends!

Aside from the chill, this is one of my favorite times of the year. A time for celebration and family; joyful giving, gratitude, and hope.

Last month, we thanked our outgoing executive committee board members John Kiefer and John “JP” Lang. I thank them for their steadfast leadership and am pleased as well to welcome returning board member Amanda Langseder, and new board members, Alex Alorro, Heather Berg, Lee Karasik, Denise Luckman, and Dawn Parsons. With a variety of skill sets from finance, organizational development, and agriculture, to diversity and inclusion, I’m looking forward to working with the latest iteration of leadership at CCE Sullivan.

As we approach year end, please consider a financial contribution to CCE Sullivan. This year’s year end appeal donations will be designated to our food security efforts, helping to ensure all our friends and neighbors have access to wholesome meals this holiday season. You can call 845-292-6180, visit www. sullivancce.org/donate or Venmo us at the QR code below.

As the temps cool, I do hope you’ll take some time to spend with your closest friends and family over some hot chocolate or tea, being grateful and surrounded by love.

These are my holiday wishes for you and yours.

Sincerely, Sincerely,

Colleen Monaghan Executive Director, cm638@cornell.edu
