President's Report
2023
Dear Friends of the Chapel,
Welcome to the Chapel's 140th season!! We look forward to greeting you when our doors open in June. Thank you for your continued generosity and support, which enables the Chapel to carry out its mission. As you know, we are totally dependent upon your gifts to keep all Chapel programs viable.
There are many things that we are thankful for at our beloved Chapel.The Reverend Carr Holland will begin his 10th summer with us. What a gift he continues to be! Our Children's Program continues this summer. We were all delighted by the JOY that the children brought last year. Chrissi Crampton and her team have been hard at work to make this summer very special. Sincere thanks to Eileen Shields West and the Outreach Committee members for their care in researching the needs of so many island non-profit organizations. Joe Wright and the Finance Committee are thoughtful in making sure the Chapel's financial health is solid. The entire Board is engaged in overseeing all aspects of Chapel life. In addition to the committees mentioned, we focus on the maintenance of our beautiful grounds and columbarium areas, buildings and preservation, as well as communications, events, hospitality and pastoral support. Volunteers are always needed so please reach out!
We are very grateful for all of you and the gifts that you share with us. We are very fortunate to have the Chapel serve as a cornerstone of village life. All are welcome!
As we begin another season together, I would like to thank Carr for all he does behind the scenes. And I would also like to thank our administrator, Sheila Daume. I am in awe of their tireless dedication to our beloved Chapel!
With abundant thanks,
Elizabeth Queally
