President's Message
L
ate spring and early summer of the UFDC fiscal year is a time
of taking stock of what we have accomplished over the course
of the year. As President I receive and read annual reports from
all of our clubs. These reports outline the programs presented at monthly
meetings, special events such as luncheons, doll shows and exhibits, field
trips to museums and donations made to charities.
I also receive annual reports from all Officers, Regional Directors,
Committees, and all Business, Education, DOLL NEWS, and Convention
Chair people. These reports detail their activities on behalf of UFDC and
contain identification of areas to improve as well as lots of good ideas for the benefit of our organization.
The first thing that struck me in going through all of this valuable information was how large the scope
of our accomplishments as a group really is. Our clubs are active in creating and sharing educational
information about dolls, which is central to our mission as an organization. These small groups of dedicated
doll lovers are the foundation of UFDC and are making a difference in the world of doll collecting through
their displays, programs and doll-related community service projects.
At the regional and international level this same scenario is played out. Many members work all year
long to promote UFDC's mission to preserve, educate and conserve. These dedicated volunteers go beyond
the ordinary to accomplish their work; putting in extraordinary effort to better serve the needs of our
members. This year as I went through our convention time together I was acutely aware that everywhere I
looked I witnessed members giving of their time and ability. So many convention attendees came up to me
on a daily basis to let me know how much they were enjoying convention. I had the pleasure of thanking
them for their appreciation and support, but really the thanks belongs to every chairperson, every crew
member, every exhibit presenter, every program presenter, every club that hosted a special event, every
member who volunteered an hour or more to help at convention, every member who attended their regional
meeting and the annual meeting. These people gave their time selflessly to make convention that much
better for all of us.
Now as we move toward closing the books on the fiscal year I am also humbled by the financial
generosity of the many members who have made the choice to support UFDC's work through special
donations to our Unity fund, our museum, our scholarships, and all the other funds it takes to keep our club
healthy. These donations make it possible for our work to continue.
Looking at the year in retrospect I see that the spirit of volunteerism is alive and well in UFDC. It is that
spirit that has allowed UFDC to succeed for the past 65 years and will enable us to continue to flourish as an
organization in the coming years.
Thank you all for being a part of what makes UFDC such a remarkable organization!
Linda Edward
UFDC President
