Congratulations to Sarah Weber, who has been elected (by the board) to be our new treasurer.  I would like to personally thank Mike Pikaart for all his efforts and care in fulfilling this position for the past several years.

The main responsibility of the board is to organize/plan events, distribute information, and maintain the mission of the group in accordance with FCC guidelines as follows: To support families who’ve adopted in China through post-adoption and Chinese culture programs; To encourage adoption from China and support waiting families; To advocate for and support children remaining in orphanages in China.
