Spending on our houses totaled $69 million over the last ten years and $7.9 million alone in fiscal year 2015. Two point one million dollars was spent on The Breakers alone last fiscal year – and that does not include the work done on the underground boiler room or the caretaker’s cottage.

We uncovered the historic underground boiler room at The Breakers, to address water infiltration issues that were damaging this unique structure. We plan someday to open it to the public.

As you no doubt noticed on your way in tonight, the caretaker's cottage is undergoing extensive restoration, including cleaning and repointing, roof and chimney repairs, rebuilding of a balcony, restoration of the windows and an interior overhaul.

Also at The Breakers, we restored the floor in the lower loggia, which had been buckling from the rusting of the support beams below; Chairman’s removed asbestos from the sub-basement; cleaned the interior 3 Report limestone walls; and painted the Children's Cottage. The visitors to The Breakers – more than 20 million people since it By Donald O. Ross was first opened to the public – provide the most significant source of funding to preserve this historic structure, and our visitors deserve From the Annual Meeting, June 11, 2015 and expect a respectful welcome and basic amenities.

Other restoration and maintenance projects include replacing a As we celebrate our 70th anniversary, I am proud to tell you that section of the fence at The Elms; continuing with the exterior the Preservation Society has never been healthier or more successful restoration of Kingscote; rebuilding the doors on the Chinese Tea in fulfilling our mission to protect, preserve and present Newport's House; repointing the Marble House terrace floor; and repairing amazing historic legacy. the rooftop balustrade at Rosecliff.

Our successes would not be possible had it not been for the base that our founders and subsequent leaders have provided, our very involved and dedicated Board of Trustees, and our amazing and hard working staff, ably led by our dynamic and 24/7 CEO and Executive Director, Trudy Coxe.

Our success is measureable in a variety of ways: financial, success- ful spending levels on our houses, museum activities, scholarly initia- tives, visitor levels, and satisfaction ratings.

First of all, we are in excellent financial health. Our Annual Fund topped $1 million this year for the first time, from the largest number of donors ever.

And we've just completed the fifth year of our comprehensive campaign with a total of $25 million raised. With one more year yet to go, we've already beaten our original goal, and we hope to Nord Wennerstrom, Laurie Ossman, Charles Birnbaum hit $30 million before we're done.

architecture, the arts, finance, media, the law, philanthropy and business generally. The process for the welcome center has been the result of not just one or two people, but the entire board. And we stand together.

Our leadership team is among the best in the museum world, as attested to by numerous national awards for excellence in virtually every museum and non-profit field. We use best practices in determining compensation for employees, who are all compensated appropriately.

The board takes its governance responsibilities very seriously, and we turn to our more than 25 functioning committees to help us carry out our mission.

Finally, on the question of refreshments, as our plans evolved we believed we had the proper approvals for serving catered refreshments. Recent questions about regulatory approval are now pending before the Rhode Island Supreme Court.

Summing up, Board and staff will continue to be sensitive to the needs of our visitors and the city of Newport. Our principal objective is to see that these properties and the collections will be here for the next 70 years for the public to enjoy.

• And the dialogue is about what direction Newport should go in to become a sustainable city: bring in a steel mill, become a manufacturing center. All sorts of ideas were being discussed.

Enter Katherine Warren.

Mrs. Warren understood the power of networking and helped foster a community dialogue about Newport’s future by inviting Kenneth Chorley, the chair of Colonial Williamsburg, to Newport.

To a crowd of 650 people at Rogers High School, Chorley concluded that the best prospect for Newport's future was in cultural tourism. “Do the job superlatively well," he said. "You are building for the centuries.” Good advice that endures today.

Over those first 25 years, the Board minutes show that many of the challenges then confront us today: Where will the money come from? How do we maintain good attendance at The Breakers, because that provides a good portion of the funds to keep us going, CEO & Executive and how do we get more people to appreciate the value of Director’s Report preservation? 7 As Mrs. Warren said : “I sometimes question whether the city By Trudy Coxe as a whole quite realizes the part that we have played, not alone in the cultural life of Newport, but ... in the economic life of the From the Annual Meeting, June 11, 2015 city as well.”

Familiar lament? Thank you, everyone, for being here to celebrate our 70th.

As you've heard, we have had a fantastic year and tonight we pay tribute with our Laurel Award to several people who were here during the first twenty-five years of our remarkable history: Mssrs. Kirby, Corcoran, Josephson and Nicholson and Mrs. Sheffield and Panaggio.

By reflecting on our first 25 years, you’ll see that indeed history repeats itself. The challenges then are challenges today. And this provides inspiration and hope and the wherewithal to keep moving forward.

So...looking back to the 1940s:

• The war has ended;

• The torpedo station which during the war employed 15,000 now employs 800. Unemployment levels are out of sight;

• Life magazine labels Newport as “fading” and even predicts that “the doors of many of [the] villas would never be opened again”;

• Only 50 of the 100 grand houses are occupied and the owners are struggling with taxes and upkeep;

In calendar 2014 we had 218 FTE’s (Full Time Equivalents) and issued 423 W-2’s. Payroll costs include not only salaries and wages and the employer’s share of Social Security and Medicare, but also that portion of various types of insurance provided by the Society (medical, dental, life, and long-term disability) which are not the responsibility of employees, and such legally required items as unemployment and workers compensation insurance. This past year, payroll and related costs amounted to just over 54% of overall operating expenses.

Non-payroll operating costs totaled $8.6 million, very close to the prior year figure. Of this amount, $1.76 million was spent on Properties and Grounds, an increase of 4% over the prior year.

We also spent $725,500 on capital projects. Capital projects in fiscal 2015 included such a wide variety of expenditures that only two of them exceeded the $100,000 mark for total spending. These were the ongoing renovation of the second floor of Rosecliff as an exhibition area and the conclusion of the removal of asbestos from the sub-basement at The Breakers.
