It’s the time of year that starts with candy corn and jack-o-lanterns and ends with champagne toasts that welcome in a new year. This time of year is a reminder of all that is made possible by your generosity. You can click here to make your 2014 gift now.

With your help we are beginning the 100th anniversary year of the Star Island Corporation on a solid foundation having surpassed our occupancy goals and generated the biggest operating gain in the history of the Corporation. We take pride in forecasting a surplus budget for 2015 that continues to include a robust financial aid program that since 2011 has helped 192 families with room and board and provided discounts to 72 Pelicans who returned to a conference of their choice in 2013.

In 2015 we will flip the switch on renewable solar power that is expected to generate more than 60 percent of our energy needs. What a way to celebrate the 100th anniversary of Star Island. Could our founding fathers and mothers ever have imagined what would come of their foresight?

It’s our turn now. Please do what you can to ensure as bright a future for Star as has been fulfilled thus far.
