Dear Connick Foundation Friends,

The year 2007 has seen the Connick Foundation developing fresh and vigorous plans.

The most significant news was a grant of $26,500, which has enabled the board of directors to engage a financial consultant and plan a future strategy of growth and productivity. The result of this collaboration has been the determination that the Foundation’s mission will be best served by:

  • • Affiliation with a Boston area non-profit institution creating reciprocal use of talent and materials and providing the public greater access to the Connick Foundation’s unique collection
  • • Employment of a part time curator/administrator to promote awareness and understanding of stained glass through tours, publications, lectures, further development of the web site, and to consult with people in need of Connick stained glass restoration.

The board is striving to fulfill these ambitious goals. Meanwhile, the current activities continue to expand:

  • Newsletters
    2007 February, June and October (please see web site: www.cjconnick.org )
  • Orin E. Skinner Annual Lecture on Stained Glass
    In November 2007, we hosted Dr. Mark D. Baden’s presentation on Nazareth Hall in Saint Paul, Minnesota (a complete Connick Studio 1926 installation), in which Dr Baden expertly explored the history and evolution of this magnificent Maginnis and Walsh sacred space.
  • Research
    • Providing information about the Connick Studio and stained glass
    • Cataloging scholarly findings
  • Conservation
    • Designs, cartoons, stained glass panels are near completion
    • Oil and watercolors by Charles J. Connick still require cleaning and conservation

With your help the Connick Foundation’s work will continue to flourish. Your contribution is truly an essential part of realizing our future plans. Please give generously.

As we remember the Connick Studio, always seeking spiritual truths in its work with color and light, the Connick Foundation directors wish you light-filled holidays that bring peace and understanding.

Cordially,

Marilyn B. Justice
President
