Annual Reports
Dear Friends,
We are pleased to present the Colonial Club Senior Activity Center 2010 Annual Report. Each year, we issue an annual report so our constituents and supporters have a glimpse of the Colonial Club operations. Our 2010 annual report is no exception. On the following pages you will find information about the programs and activities of the Colonial Club, as well as audited financial statements from our auditors at Wegner, LLP.
Whether you have been a long time fan of the Colonial Club or have just recently discovered us, we are grateful for your support. For over 40 years, the Colonial Club has served multiple communities throughout Northeast Dane County. In 1969, the Articles of Incorporation for the Colonial Club were filed and in 1970, ground was broken for the construction of our current facility. In the fall of 1971, the doors to the Colonial Club opened for the first time. We have spent the last two years talking about our 40th anniversary, but plan to dedicate some time in our busy calendar to officially celebrate this milestone later this year. We hope you will take part in those events and help us pay tribute to hundreds of individuals who have made this anniversary possible.
Much has changed since that fall day in 1971 when the first people walked through the doors of the Colonial Club. Volunteers and paid staff have worked diligently to ensure that the Colonial Club adapted to those changes. Change is constant. In order for us to not just survive, but thrive in the coming years, more change will be necessary. We must face the financial realities of an ever-changing economy and we must be prepared for the ever-evolving concept of aging.
The Colonial Club of 1971 was starkly different than today's Colonial Club. We can surmise that the Colonial Club of 2051 will be even more different. It is imperative that we do all we can today to strengthen this great organization to serve not only today's older adults, but the older adults of tomorrow.
We thank you for your support and look forward to being together in the fall of 2011 to honor all those individuals and organizations that have made the Colonial Club dream a reality.
