We have an amazing town. I went to a meeting today of the Manassas Education Foundation. Heck, I’m not sure I was aware we had such a thing until about a month ago. The foundation, comprised of volunteers, raises money each year to help fund the needs of the schools. Much like the way that I am now forced to read, they are trying to hold their organization at arm’s length and see if they believe they are going in the right direction.
Reflection is always a healthy, if not easy, thing to do. Sometimes you discover some things about an organization (or oneself) that you aren’t wild about. I do not believe that the foundation will end up gazing upon a distorted reflection in the final analysis but they may discover some things they want to change and that’s ok too. They’ve been around quite awhile and a little change from time to time ain’t so bad.
Thanks to the foundation for all of their hard work and to those not directly affiliated with the foundation who attended today for their expertise and experience. Judging from what I saw, it will be a productive process!
