The Rainbow Room (supply closet) was restocked and reorganized in March. April was Child Abuse Awareness month -Commissioners Court passed a resolution, blue ribbons were tied around courthouse trees, and a March 31St kickoff event was held on courthouse grounds with speaker Fred Gamble from Schreiner College. The board did not meet from May to November due to board turnover and scheduling conflicts. Christmas gifts: Walmart gift cards were given to approximately 120 children. Board members asked for donations and received an estimated $8,000. Kerr County citizens gave so generously that we were able to double the gifts to children, so instead of $25, each child received at least $50 in gift cards. Funds not earmarked for Christmas gifts will be used for the children in the future. Upwming plans/projects: Review and audit of financial records by an outside source; report by April 2007.
