To our Members, Volunteers, and Supporters:
We are pleased to share with you our 2019 Annual Report. Looking back, there is so much we accomplished together, and looking at where we are today, it is hard to grasp all that has changed in these past several months. We are grateful to every one of you for being a part of the Vintage House community and for engaging with us in so many different ways—as volunteers, teachers, members, donors, and more.
Last year marked the rollout of our new logo and brand identity. With that came new publications, programs, events, community outreach activities, an updated website, and a whole new energy felt here at “the House” inspired by our tagline, Connect, Explore, Belong.
Perhaps the single largest theme of 2019 was partnership. While Vintage House has collaborated with other organizations over the years, 2019 saw the launch and expansion of several innovative partnerships that allowed us to introduce new programs and services. We have shared some highlights of these new and fruitful collaborations in the the report.
While our objective for this publication is to share highlights from last year, we would be remiss to not talk about 2020 and the changes it brought to Vintage House and to our community—locally and globally. 2020 is a year we certainly will not soon forget. It has been a year of ongoing change and uncertainty but the one constant we could count on was you—our community. While the future may still remain unclear, let’s not lose sight of the fact that we are in this together.
We hope you will enjoy this look back at 2019, and let’s all remain hopeful for a brighter 2021.
Sincerely,
