Trustees:
I have no intention of responding to pernicious gadflies who are intent on
destroying public discourse in the Village. The
The discussion at our first meeting was, despite Mr. Davidian's attempt to
hijack it, actually very productive. It became clear to the people
present that the current organizational structure of the SRC and the ESAB has
not evolved adequately since their inception, yet they now have access to large
amounts of resources and are under increasing public scrutiny. There is
good work to be done here, in terms of community leadership, and I encourage
you to provide the necessary leadership.
On behalf of the Foundation, I acknowledge that we have taken a tough line in
the last year with Dr. Kircher's opposition to our request for clarification of
the Benjamin Fund's restrictions. We intend to continue to press ahead
with our efforts to establish guidelines for the use of the Benjamin Fund that
are consistent with its restrictions, as construed by the court, and consistent
with our fiduciary duties under state law.
The Foundation Board is proud of its contribution to public
discourse on this important subject in the Village, despite what the media
(and self-proclaimed media) choose to say about what we are doing. Only
when the spending policy is in place can these funds be properly invested for
the long-term well-being of seniors in Shorewood. The Foundation has its
eye on that objective and we are pursuing it.
