I want to begin by saying that I hope your holidays have been the best that they could be! The year 2003 was a good one for our organization and I have a strong feeling that 2004 will be even better. We have matured more than many thought we would and established our roots deep in the non-profit family.   

I have to thank the staff for their hard work!  This has not been the best year for health for me but thanks to the fantastic volunteers we have helping make this site a success we can all enjoy this on-line resource of stroke support. 

 Our accomplishments are something to be proud of and let me reiterate some of the things that stand out:

    (  Our organization remains very liquid!

    (  All sites of the network have been redesigned.

    (  The Organization has gone from a confusing three point to a one point registration system.

    (  We have a new and highly user friendly message board and chat room.

    (  Chat has become a daily activity and much needed source and type of on-line support.

    (  Again, our membership has doubled and stands well above the thousand mark.

    (  We donated 2 brand new computers to the stroke ward of a stroke rehab hospital. We hope

                 to begin something called Stroke Therapy.

    (  Our Second Annual Golf Tournament fundraiser was a complete success and guarantees that

                 our organization will remain free for several more years!
