As the Landlovers year concludes on May 31, 2026, and I complete my term as President, I do so with deep gratitude and pride in all that we have accomplished together. This past year has been marked by extraordinary generosity, dedication, and community spirit, and I have been honored to serve alongside so many talented and committed volunteers. Our fundraising events and activities have strengthened the Foundation and will help support its important work in the years ahead. Additional details may be shared in a future communication.

None of this would have been possible without the more than 800 volunteers who so generously gave their time, energy, and enthusiasm. Your willingness to serve and your commitment to our mission to enrich the lives of the community we live in have made a lasting difference, and for that I offer my heartfelt thanks.

It has been a privilege to serve as your President, and I leave this role with great confidence in the future of Landlovers. I am also pleased to announce the new Board of Directors, who will take office on June 1:

President: Joe LeBlanc
Vice President/President Elect: Mary Slodden

Assistant Treasurer: Dawn Sabin
Membership: Martha Hutchins
Fundraising Director: Sheila Towson
Development Director: Carolyn DeFrancesco

On behalf of all our members, I would like to welcome the new board and thank them for taking on these leadership roles.

As our 2025-2026 board roles are off May 31, we thank all of our Members, Volunteers, and Community, for your continuing support and assistance. We are eternally grateful to each of you, and it has been an honor to serve on your board.
