Happy January! This is a season for new opportunities. For directors, it’s an opportunity to start a new calendar year fresh with energy and a sense of purpose.

Happy Fourth of July from Kids Hope USA! I hope this newsletter finds you enjoying the preparations for a great Independence Day celebration. It’s a wonderful time to show our gratitude for living in a country where we’ve been free to worship and be part of a community of believers doing Kingdom work. Speaking of preparation, we’re at that time for planning and preparing for the school year ahead.

I am a born planner. I make to-do lists and find great satisfaction in checking off completed tasks. For you Enneagramers, I am a 1, the perfectionist. Maybe some of you can relate? I find these traits quite helpful not only in my career but also as a Kids Hope USA director and mom of three young children. The planning and organization bring calm to chaos.
