Keeping Up With Cooke-Holiday Edition!

Happy Holidays!

I am proud to share this holiday edition of the newsletter with all of you, our incredible Cooke community! I hope your holidays are filled with good times and special moments with family and friends!

Exciting changes are happening at Cooke as we celebrate our 30th anniversary. In this edition of the newsletter, you’ll find a special, sharable link to our 30th Anniversary Annual Report, a program update from the Cooke Institute (our educational consulting and training program), an invitation to support our 2017-18 Annual Giving Campaign, and dates for upcoming events, like the 2018 Gala, which we hope you’ll attend.

I wish you peace, health and happiness in the New Year!
