As the founder of Annie's Angels Memorial Fund, I have been so blessed to have a huge connection with so many who I now call our Angel Family.
To our donors and volunteers who give thoughtfully, selflessly, and are consistently generous, thank you. We need your never ending support now and always.
To our Angel Families who are struggling through disease, illness or disability, I admire your courageous strength to face a new day, and battle through. You inspire me, you energize me, and you consistently force me to go outside of my comfort zone to serve you better. Thank you!
When I announced back in June my intention to make a permanent move to the Sunshine State, there were many questions to be answered, many obstacles to overcome, and some turmoil to calm. To be perfectly honest, I wasn't sure we could overcome any of it. Some board members decided this might be a good time to serve Annie's Angels in other ways...if it survived. Others looked at this as a great opportunity, and still others joined our board to ensure Annie's Angels survival.
As we enter the fall season, Annie's Angels could be, as the season implies, falling into a deep angel slumber and into a never ending winter. But that IS NOT the case!
As with all the exciting things happening this fall, leaf peeping, apple picking, pumpkin picking, and pumpkin spice coffee...well maybe not that last one, lol, Annie's Angels is moving forward, onward, and upward like never before.
Our board members and advisors, new and old come with new or renewed mountains of enthusiasm, new ideas and better ways to look into our angel future! Our new Director of Development, Susan Young brings 20 years of experience running her own business, Clean by the Sea. She is excited to be on staff and is willing to meet with anyone, anytime, just as I was. Caitlynn Pitts, a new board member has taken on our social media outlets and will be making changes to keep you current with everything Annie's Angel related. I will continue to answer the requests from our Angel families and caseworkers. Susan, Caitlynn and I zoom, chat and cell call regularly to ensure we are all on the same page.
To introduce you to all our board and advisors we will begin a new segment in our newsletter entitled "Meet the Board". It will be in the newsletter as well as on all our social media.
In closing, I want to thank you all again for the last 17 years. YOU have allowed me to serve. YOU have allowed our Angel Families to prosper. YOU have been a beacon of hope for so many, I have only been the conduit, the connection between donors and recipients. I look forward to many years of service to come.
I am Humbly Yours,
William DaGiau, Founder
Annie's Angels Memorial Fund Inc.

Please share our mission of hope with family, friends, and everyone you meet! All of our Annie's Angels successes are because of YOU, the Angels Among Us who give generously and give often.
Without YOU, WE are nothing.
