I am filled with admiration and gratitude when I think of all the individuals and businesses involved in conceptualizing and physically creating the Welcome Center. A number of these people and organizations will be recognized later in the meeting, during our awards ceremony: Epstein Joslin Architects, Reed Hilderbrand Landscape Architects, and, of course, Behan Brothers.

But there are many, many others who have contributed in indis- pensable and elegantly creative ways to the long process of creating the Welcome Center, our technology advisors Experience Design, and all of our subcontractors in particular. In addition, the Board of Trustees, especially the Welcome Center Subcommittee, professional staff and associated advisers, generous donors and supporters have all been dedicated participants in this process. We are greatly in your debt. Please forgive me for not specifically mentioning each and every one of you by name. I am afraid the cocktail hour would long since have passed before I could possibly complete the list.

I am certain that you will be amazed by the magnificent design of the Welcome Center, the remarkable craftsmanship on display, the luxuriant landscaping around the new building, and the cutting edge 3 technology, developed by the Experience Design principals, that will help teach our visitors about the history of Newport.

The Welcome Center will operate virtually unseen as it supplies Chairman’s a gracious introduction to The Breakers. It will provide the cordial hospitality that our visitors deserve, with limited refreshments, climate controlled places to rest, and clean bathrooms with modern Report plumbing. These are the very amenities which I and many others wanted somehow to be made available to our guests so many years By Monty Burnham ago, when we first saw the outlines of this project. This desire, and the inspiration of my fellow Board members and the staff of From the Annual Meeting, June 14, 2018 the Preservation Society provided the energy that has brought us all to this point.

As I stand before you this evening, I am also struck by the fact that, with the inauguration of public tours at The Breakers in 1948, we are Today’s meeting is quite different from previous annual meetings now celebrating the 70th anniversary of the Preservation Society’s of the Preservation Society, because we will devote so much of our relationship with The Breakers. attention to The Breakers Welcome Center.

As I say this I can hardly believe that I am standing here, just a little More than 450,000 people visit The Breakers every year, year round, more than a year after the ground-breaking ceremony on May 18, coming to Newport from more than 100 nations and all 50 states. 2017.

Alan Joslin, Doug Reed, and Mike Behan are going to win many national architectural and landscape prizes because they’ve shown that you can site a beautiful building and create extraordinary landscaping on historic property without ruining it.

Central Nurseries, Experience Design, Bill Landry, Chris Tennyson - all our contractors - did phenomenal work. My only worry is that the Preservation Society’s outstanding staff will be stolen away. That’s how good they are.

The final silver lining: Our Grace Under Fire winners. They epitomize Babe Ruth’s famous line “you just can’t beat the person who won’t give up.” And these extraordinary people never let us give up. They sat through hours of hearings. Testified too. They wrote letters to the editor. Joined us at the Supreme Court. Sent "attaboy" emails; left inspirational voicemails; provided invaluable advice and information.

They gave us courage, prodding us to keep moving forward and 4 to keep our vision in front of us and to not give up. One touching moment was when I received a card showing two women standing in front of a monumental castle with a sign pointing towards a tea room and the caption is “first things first.” That made me chuckle. I opened the card and found the following three words: “we support you.” What made it touching was that I did not know these people.

CEO & Executive So you can see, little things and big things, to a person, you were the wind in our sails. You had an impact. You are our friends and Director’s Report we appreciate you beyond words. By Trudy Coxe So what do you give to people you admire? A ball cap? A mug? From the Annual Meeting, June 14, 2018 A key ring? We decided upon something useful which you can pick up before you leave tonight. A hammer. And on it is inscribed: “Your grace under fire nailed it! Breakers Welcome Center 2018."

You helped us nail it and we are filled with gratitude. Yes, this project lasted longer than World War II and no, we are not suffering from PTSD. In fact, we are filled with gratitude because So, now, let’s celebrate, cut the ribbon and marvel at a beautiful we’re all seated next to the most famous visitor center in the world. building.

In truth, this project produced so many silver linings and I want to cite just a few.

Our board and staff are tougher, more strategic, more committed than ever and we know that we can do anything we set our minds to. That makes our future so bright that I can’t wait.

The project gave us the chance to work with incredibly talented people. In fact, I’m very sad that tonight many of these partnerships come to an end. But a few things I am sure of. Annual Report 2017-2018 5 Accomplishments

Our fiscal 2019 budget projects over $1.5 million in unrestricted revenue growth.

We have budgeted $566,000 for major projects, but as we saw this year, there is always something unexpected that needs to be replaced or restored. The Properties Department will be busy as usual. The list of work that needs to be done is never ending. That is why it is vital for us to continually evolve and discover ways to become an even more successful organization.

In conclusion, I’d like to congratulate our staff, our supporters and our members for another very successful year
