Dear Nativity board members,

As the WJA closes out for Christmas break, I wanted to personally thank
all of you for  your support throughout my time as chair in what has
been somewhat of a whirlwind, for not only me but also for Mary Claire.
In my mind, and I think we all would agree, we have come a long way as
we continue to work through these 24 critical months of the Network.  

I want to also thank those of you who have individually met with the
folks from The Whelan Group.  In meeting with them myself a few days
ago, it is clear they are right on target with the restart of the
Network and equally important they are engaged in helping us identify
Foundations that will support the good work we do. 

Again, let me reiterate as I head into the Christmas holiday how excited
I am about 2012 and the "newness" of the network as we impact our
schools, students and leaders in a very positive way.

I look forward to seeing everyone early on in 2012.  Enjoy this time
with family and loved ones.

Bill
