Dear Brothers and Sisters:

This year has been very important for our Parish where we worked tirelessly in order to
accomplish all our goals that we set fort at the beginning of the year.
First of all, the new Board was elected mostly with younger members who brought more
knowledge, talent and energy that is evident when we look at what was accomplished for the
first time this year, such as follows:

* Designed and implemented the very first web page where we announce and
communicate with our Parishioners all of the happenings in our Parish.
* The Folklore group “Balkan” was formed tor the first time and they not only
perform in our church but also in other Serbian churches throughout Florida.
* The very first Serbian Festival was held this year at our church grounds and the
plans are under way for the next year.
* In addition to regular musical events, the cultural events were scheduled too.
* Over 200 books were collected for our new library.
* One of the biggest and most important happenings in our Parish is that the new church has
been erected almost to the roof and all in this year.
* For the construction of the new church around $240,000 was collected of which $120,000
was in this year alone, which is more than ever in the history of our Parish.
* We are proud that the financial situation of operating fund of this year is excellent.
* The very good relationship and communication with the Diocese and His Grace Bishop
Mitrophan were renewed once again and all the dues to the Diocese were paid.
* For the first time this year all of our goals were documented and communicated with the
Parishioners and we plan to do the same for the next year.
* Focusing on today’s priorities and responsibly planning for the future years.
* All decisions this year for the first time were made in accordance to Diocesen and local
Rules and Regulations.

With these kinds of results, the foundation has been laid for the future progress and expansion
of our community. It has to be our duty to include more young members in our church to build
on what we started and to make sure that the future is brighter for them.

Dear Parishioners, If you are satisfied with accomplishments and positive improvements and
do not want to go back to the past
, but yet, you think that it can be even more successful,
than please support the present Board. 

We would like to take this opportunity to thank you for all your financial donations as well as
all your other help in order to make it possible for all the successful results listed above.
