For that reason, we want to take this opportunity to thank YOU for the role you have played in UCH's success. The Lord has blessed us this year with an increased enrollment. But even in the lean years, instead of cutting back on services, you supported our goal of in- creasing those services. As a result we now have more academic offerings in math, English, and chemistry. We have what is undoubtedly one of the finest gymnasium and convocation centers in North America. Your financial support has also enabled us to outfit a first class computer room, purchase a new van, re- model the fourth floor of the boys' dorm, etc., etc., etc. Thank you so much for all your monetary support. But in reality, we'd like to thank you even more for your prayers, your words of encouragement, for your willingness to stick with and support this program. We want to continue to improve because we want only the BEST for our young people. We'd like to add a full-time counselor to the staff, upgrade the physical plant, provide the very best academically. But more than anything, we want our students to find at UCA a safe harbor for developing a personal friend- ship with Jesus. Thank you, Upper Columbia Conference, for giving your best toward the education of our young people. May the Lord continue to richly bless us as we strive together for excellence in His name.
