News from the Office
Good Bye, Annie!
Annie Guion, our Director of Operations for the past
two years, has moved on to join the Meeting Waters YMCA.
During her time at Kroka Annie made great contributions
to the efficiency of all of the operating systems. She
changed our food supplying system to include much local
food directly from the farms and made our camp store
run smoothly. She has supported all of us before, during
and after the programs, baring all of the logistical
details. We thank Annie for her work and wish her good
luck in her journey.
Welcome, Katrina!
Katrina Wilson, our neighbor from across the Smith Brook
has joined Kroka as our Business Manager. Katrina, is
a native of Vernon, VT. She is the mother of Marina

much needed accounting and finance expertise. We now
have a real operating budget and monthly budget meetings.
One of Katrina’s tasks in her first year is to
organize and tighten our finances so the growing school
will continue to stand strong on its own two feet, while
relying on tuition as its primary source of income.
Welcome Mara!

job as a mechanical engineer in Boston and joined the

Joseph stacks up the firewood, shovels the snow and
takes care of the grandchildren.
