From the Desk of Executive Director Paul Steffens:
Happy New Year Everyone! This is the time of the year that we ponder over all that we
accomplished during the year that just ended and think about the challenges ahead inthe new year. Looking at 2009, I am very proud of the ASYMCASD Team (my 26 Super-stars, the Members of the Board of Management and Civilian Advisory Committee, themembers of Avant Garde and the hundreds of civilian and military volunteers who, to-gether, enabled us to reach a new threshold in our average monthly program participa-tion. Our average monthly program participation in 2009 reached 6,832. We will con-tinue our effort in 2010 to reach even more military and their families. In 2009, wewere excited over introducing new programs, such as our Neighborhood Exchange Pro-gram and Camp Hero. We also introduced periodic Open Houses in our Youth andCommunity Outreach Department to introduce YCO programs to more and more military
families. We clearly recognize that we could not provide our quality programs withoutthe terrific support of the San Diego Community, both the military and civilian. SanDiego is a military town and that is evident in the fantastic support we receive, both fi-nancial and hands on support. We will continue in 2010 to provide innovative programsthat meet the current and emerging needs of military families.We thank you for your support!
