Board members reviewed recent programs and events, reporting rising attendance and volunteer support.

One member said ThinkAbilities has "over 60 people online that do ThinkAbilities," and others reported a recent dance drew about 95 attendees and that Wednesday programs have expanded from a small group to near-capacity.
