In FY 2008-9, we received over $1,802,000 of our $1,840,000 goal – no smallfeat in these times. All who have supported our work in this past year have ourheartfelt appreciation.
•
The philanthropic audit (one-third supported by the Dyson Foundation) stronglysuggested we hire a full-time development director, which we are now seeking. Acting Director John Baring will continue to be a liaison between Developmentand the Village.

Camphillers Speak! 
 The Presidential Inauguration
Come On Over! 
 
Russet and Brookledge Houses Near Completion with Summer Move-In Goal
I you’ve been to Russet and Brookledgehouses in the past, you won’t believeyour eyes when you next return!While work is still in progress at bothstructures, each house has alreadybeen expanded signicantly.Upon completion, each will openits doors to amilies and villagers whowill live in greater comort and space,with updated amenities. Brookledge iscloser to completion than Russet, but itis exciting to see both houses take theirnew orms. Work is scheduled to becompleted in July, somewhat dependentupon the weather this spring.
On January 20th, as in many places around the nation,Camphill Village came together to celebrate the presidentialinauguration and watched the festivities and speeches ona big screen in Fountain Hall. It was a moving experienceto watch history-in-the-making together — and one not soonforgotten. We asked individual villagers what they thoughtof the inauguration and of President Obama, and here’swhat they had to say (clockwise, top to bottom):
Kelly McCaughan
“I liked the inauguration, but thought itwas quite long. So far, I think Obama is fair.”
 Vera Blanchfeld
“It’s kind of annoying because I voted forsomeone else and now I have to hear about him most of thetime.”
Katie Schreckinger
“We have never seen the inaugurationbefore. This was my rst experience watching it. He is a coolguy and a good guy.”
Beth Stevens
“I think it’s very alright that Obama is fromChicago and so am I.”
Christopher Duffy 
“It was special to see the rst blackpresident being sworn in and see Bush give his regards toObama as he was leaving. It was also nice to know thatthere’s a First Grandmother living in the White House, for therst time in history.”
 Vicky Fliesler
said she liked it.
