This was another year of major challenges and important achieve-

ments. However, it will likely be re-membered for the losses of the Simms House and the Old School’s auditori-um. The arbitrated settlement between Loudoun County and the owner of the Simms House allowed the owners to demolish the house. Though occur-ring after the fiscal year, an accidentalfire started in the basement of the OldSchool auditorium in January 2007 which led to the loss of the audito-rium and adjacent space. However, the rapid and masterful response by the fire departments prevented the firefrom consuming the classroom portion of the structure, albeit suffering consid-erable damage. The loss was especially poignant since many improvements had been made in recent years, largely through generous private donations and Concert Series profits.

Financially, the Foundation did better than one would have expected consid-ering the impacts of another rainy Fair and the loan costs on the 25-acre lot at the intersection of Old Wheatland and Milltown Roads. This was only possible because of the tremendous support from the Foundation’s mem-bers, friends and other organizations. Responses to the two appeals in May and November provided donations of $69,480. The May appeal went toward matching the $50,000 challenge from an anonymous donor. Combined with other targeted fundraising activities including the inaugural “Christmas at

From the President

the Mill,” the Foundation completed the match and received the donation in December. Additionally, we gained approval to use $200,000 of the 2005 TEA-21 grant to payoff the last loan on the Phillips Farm!

We had originally anticipated com-pleting the sale of the 25-acre lot last October but the buyers opted out of the contract during the study period. However, they came back and a new contract was signed in January 2007. We hope to complete the sale by May 2007.

The Foundation’s educational/cultural programs had stellar years. The Second Street School program once again provided 4th graders a special oppor-tunity to glimpse being educated in a one-room schoolhouse. The Con-cert Series provided an exceptional program of world-class artists and Waterford Walking Tours were offered before the concerts. We are fortunate to be able to offer the 2007 program in the Lucketts Community Center. The George Bentley Lecture was given by Alan Geoffrion, the renowned author of Broken Trails. Additionally, other improvements were made to the Chair Factory as the future home of the Foun-dation’s archives. Heartfelt thanks goes to the Education Committee and its many volunteers who provided these wonderful events.

The Development Committee spear-headed initiatives which made important contributions in 2006 and promise even more in the future. In addition to the $50,000 challenge and “Christmas at the Mill,” through Mari-lyn Gentry’s leadership and directors’ support, additional funds were raised for the Foundation’s Endowment Fund. Combined with the money donated in memory of Logan Doane, the fund is now valued at nearly $23,000. The Board of Directors believes a robust endowment is essential for the Founda-tion’s long-term financial health.

Other committees also provided superb support. Led by Rich Biby, the Properties Planning and Management Committee optimized its limited bud-get toward maintaining facilities in the best possible condition. With the help of many others such as Tim McGinn,

the committee and staff spearheaded the initial stabilization and salvage efforts following the fire. The Land UseCommittee, chaired by Chris Gleckner, expertly prepared the easements and covenants essential to the resell of the 25-acre lot, and continued work on the Phillips Farm master plan. The Fair Committee’s meticulous planning was proven as the 2006 Fair overcame two rainy days to achieve better than expected profits. Finally, the FinanceCommittee with Mark Beisler’s guid-ance maximized the Foundation’s budget in support of our many activi-ties and programs.

John Kornacki led the directors through a retreat on November 11th to evaluate the strategic goals of the Foundation. The Board decided efforts were warranted on several matters including: (1) Developing a Proper-ties Strategic Plan to evaluate best long-term use of our facilities. A task force was formed in November. (2) Developing a Landmark Strategic Plan for managing the Foundation’s land in relation to the entire Landmark. (3) Controlling traffic in the village ad-dressing issues of speed and volume. (4) Taking fundraising to the next level through broader outreach to grant-giv-ing organizations, pursuing high-return fundraising, and minimizing expenses. Much to do!

I humbly thank the hundreds of devot-ed supporters who make the work of the Waterford Foundation come true. I also thank the staff and my fellow directors for their time, energy and en-thusiasm they devote to this wonderful organization. A very special Thank You goes to the three stalwart directors who are leaving the Board: Bruce Cleveland (6 years), Chris Gleckner (6 years) and Barbara Josselyn (3 years). Their steady leadership and support will be greatly missed. …However, let the Founda-tion proudly celebrate its 65th year of service along with the 250th anniver-sary of Loudoun County and 400th for Virginia!

From the Executive Director

Nonprofit organizations, oftencalled the third sector of the

economy, are the fastest growing and broadest set of institutions in the country. Some are huge entities like AARP or the American Red Cross with big missions, big budgets and large numbers of paid staff members. Most of them are smaller, often with more narrowly defined missions withfew and sometimes no paid staff. In any case, they all face similar challenges from raising adequate funds, to motivating volunteers, and ultimately to being faithful to the public purposes that justify their tax exemptions. Even the most prudent of these organizations must face the hard reality of competition for resources, increased governmental oversight and

an obligation to fulfill the expectationsof those who donate their dollars and their time. The Waterford Foundation, Inc. has been an exemplary steward of its resources and very faithful servant to its mission to preserve a special place and to educate people about how this place informs us of our common heritage.

In the seven months I have had the privilege of serving this organization it has faced a perfect storm of events unlike any other period. I like to listen to James Taylor but when I hear the song Fire and Rain I have a whole new appreciation. Like an individual, an organization’s fate is determined by how it responds to big tests. Some just give up. Others try to pick up the pieces but eventually fail; sooner or later resources wane, time passes, energy diminishes, people leave and the song fades out.

The Waterford Foundation, Inc. will not suffer this end and here’s why. The Foundation’s strength has always been its people. It remains primarily a voluntary organization made of dutiful members near and far who have contributed time and resources to save and maintain a special place for over six decades. This commitment begins with the board of directors and with the volunteers who work tirelessly on the board’s many committees. The Fair for example, would simply not function without the many volunteers

who give of their time in one way or another. The same is true of the Second Street School program, the Waterford Concert Series and the Bentley Lectures.

Overcoming our challenges this year will not be easy but we will overcome them. This journey will indeed shape our future. Our plans to restore and rebuild will serve as the cornerstone for a renewed commitment to the work of educating others on the importance of preserving buildings, protecting open spaces and in so doing, keeping history alive.

Some have felt that over the years the Waterford Foundation has turned too inward in its vision and its operation. We will prove otherwise by revitalizing our mission and taking it to a new level. My favorite James Taylor song is the more inspiring You’ve Got a Friend. Tragedy often demonstrates who your real friends are. We have heard from many of them and we will reach out to make new friends. That kind of support is why we are so confident that--inthe not too distant future--we will be hearing songs from the Old School once again and all who have given us so much will be there to sing along.

Homes Tour and Crafts Exhibit

It rained again.

In 2005, our luck turned and we had a downpour for all three days. This year, the weather was a big story again. Attendance was seriously decreased on Friday and a bit less so on Saturday, but the rain gave way to a sunny and gorgeous Sunday. More than 10,000 people streamed in, were parked, mud or not, and the Fair and the visitors had a great day. Overall, attendance and sales were better than in 2005.

On Saturday and Sunday, full time volun-teer traffic monitors, led by Robert Carr,were posted at the main entrances to the parking lots. They counted the number of cars, number of passengers per car, and they recorded license plates. The most interesting news about this Fair may be that, during just those two days, vehicles from 34 states outside of Virginia were documented.

More than 45,000 promotional brochures were printed. At Fair time, only hands full were left. Featuring the usual spectacular graphics designed by Ellen Banker and printed by Better Impressions, Inc., the brochures were very widely distributed. Distribution of thousands of our bro-chures by our demonstrating craftspeople has long been essential to spreading the word about the event.

The brochures, the booklet, the promo-tional posters, the post cards and the print ads were similarly designed with the purpose of “branding” the Fair. We are

grateful for a grant from Loudoun County Restricted Transient Occupancy Tax funds which underwrote the cost of the brochure in 2006. This same grant allowed us to place large print ads in The Baltimore Sun and The Richmond Times Dispatch, as well as a half page, full-color ad in the national magazine, Early American Life. Renee Brohard, of Bendure Communica-tions, Inc., facilitated live appearances on the early morning TV programs of Fox 5 on Thursday and Channel 9 on Friday. The Old School auditorium looked absolutely wonderful in the pre-dawn hours, under the TV lights, the craft booths pristine with beautiful and elegant displays ready for the day. Local TV and radio appearances by Foundation personnel were effective as well.

The Fair has frequently included a raffle, fea-turing a major piece given by one of our craftspeople. This year, Peter and Carol Wallace, of American Windsors by Peter S. Wallace, in Kutztown, PA, donated a replica of a 1765 Sack-back Windsor armchair. The handsome chair attracted a lot of interest and the Foundation real-ized $2,129 from raffleticket sales.

The deluge from the tropical storm of 2005

brought forth heroic efforts by many of our volunteers. In 2006, there was just a lot of rain, enough to make life miserable and the job much more difficult for the ticket sellers, led byHans Hommels; the area chairpeople - Jackie Gosses, Margaret Good, Bob Schotta (who had the courage to come back after a few years of freedom), Paul Rose, Suzanne Chadwick, Kevin Chadwick, Susan Sutter, Rich Biby and Bern O’Dell; the Review Commit-tee, chaired by June Campbell, that had to visit every craftsperson, food vendor and performer. And we must also thank the craftspeople who were outside, demonstrating against all odds, long skirts wet and up to their ankles in mud. The Loudoun County civic groups who contracted with the Foundation, especially the Lovettsville/Waterford Ruritan Club and the Loudoun Valley Athletic Association, were also out in the fields and streets,coping with the bad weather and the resulting parking conditions

Along with the volunteers, the visitors who bought tickets and came to the Fair, rain or shine, made the Homes Tour and Craft Exhibit possible and successful for the 63rd consecutive year. Thanks to all of you.

Education Committee members, many of whom have long been active on

the committee, are dedicated to studying, preserving and sharing the history of this beautiful National Historic Landmark. In fact, our meetings are often happy discus-sions of people and places that make Waterford’s history so fascinating.

The Second Street SchoolThe Second Street School was built in 1867 and served as the school for Waterford’s African American community until it was closed in 1957. The Loudoun County School Board sold the building to a private owner, who placed it under permanent easement, and sold it to the Waterford Foundation in 1977. That easement guarantees future protection of the school by requiring that any changes proposed for the interior, exterior, and grounds of the building be approved by the National Trust for Historic Preserva-tion.

Since 1984, the Foundation’s living history program has invited fourth grade students to reenact a day as African-American pupils in a segregated nineteenth-cen-tury one-room school. This year we had full registration of 60 classes and were pleased to add three new “Miss Nickens” teachers. In addition to the teacher manual, the interactive CD-ROM pro-duced by the Education Committee under a grant from the Estate of Paul Mellon, is now sent to each attending class and is on the Foundation website. Teacher response indicates this has been a valuable tool in preparing students for the program. In 2007, we are planning to distribute a copy of the CD to all fourth grade teach-ers in Loudoun County prior to the start of the 2007-08 school year, as part of the Foundation’s educational outreach. The volunteer docents this year were Elsa Anders, Meghan Cantrall, Sandy Lund, Mary Ellen Megeath, Bronwen Souders, Debbie Strange, and Kathie Ratcliffe, who supervises the program.

We wish to thank the Waterford Quilters Guild for their generous donation of $1,000 to help defray the program’s expenses. Thanks to Susan Williams, the Miss Nickens Scholarship was established several years ago to honor Waterford’s early residents’ commitment to educate young people of all races. In 2006, the

two recipients of the $1,000 scholarships were Jake Johnson and Logan McIntosh, both of Loudoun Valley High School.

The Dan Kent Scholarship was given this year to Katy Peterson, described by the Loudoun Times Mirror as the “top youth volunteer for the year,” in addition to many other accolades. As a sophomore, Katy volunteered with Bronwen Souders in the Archives, transcribing documents and a handwritten oral history. She now attends Randolph Macon College.

The Waterford Archives and Historical Collection In 2006, the restoration of the upstairs back room of the Chair Factory was completed thanks to generous grants from the Paul Mellon Estate and Sue W. Massie Charitable Trust. Archival materials having long been stored in the Corner Store and Old School were moved to this location. The most valuable of the Foundation’s archives are stored in a safe deposit bank box in Leesburg pending installation of appropriate fire and security protection.The interior of the Chair Factory’s back room, the “stacks,” has been refurbished, the flooring reinforced to support the ad-ditional weight, and appropriate tempera-ture control installed.

This small area is intended as storage for the Foundation’s archives, for usage by employees and volunteers only. Filing cabinets, a large metal locking cabinet, shelving and a small desktop copier were purchased. A small desk was donated. An old computer is in use, with hopes of acquiring a new one soon. Underway is the organization of the vast amount of photographs, paper, objects, and other ephemera that have been randomly saved over the years. Material will be arranged into subject files, family files, and propertyfiles for easy retrieval. Foundation recordsas well as local history documents and artifacts will be available. After the initial sorting into basic categories, all items will be catalogued into a computer database using PastPerfect software. This is a long-term project and will no doubt require several volunteers.

Work on the Chair Factory’s upstairs front room––which will serve as the Foundation’s research center and small museum area for students, genealogists, historians, and visitors––has been halted

due to depletion of our funding. When work resumed on the renovation this fall, it was discovered that several main rafters were cracked and needed immediate replacement or the roof might collapse. Eventually, we hope to fit this room with tables, computers,bookshelves, display cases and other facilities.

We are seeking a further $30,000 in grants and donations to complete the second floor of the Chair Factory andopen it to the public. Edith Crockett and Cordelia Chamberlin chair this committee assisted ably by John and Bronwen Souders and Carolee Chamberlin.

The Fair Education ExhibitSince the 2005 Fair was a rainy one, we remounted our Dust to Dust: Waterford’s Vanished Buildings exhibit again in 2006. Of course, it rained again, but many Fairgoers found respite in the nice dry Tin Shop and discovered in the exhibit the surprising array of significant buildings that havedisappeared from Waterford. Period photographs were displayed alongside contemporary views and narrative to illustrate what buildings were there and what became of them. The exhibit was carefully researched by John and Bronwen Souders and beautifully mounted and hung by Meghan Can-trall. These exhibits, along with others through the years, are now preserved

in the archives for future use. “The Heart of Waterford” video was also shown and continues to be a favorite.

The George Bentley Lecture SeriesThis popular lecture series has brought nationally acclaimed authors and writers to Waterford since 2001.This year, Alan Geoffrion, author and screenwriter of the critically acclaimed film, Broken Trail (which starred Robert Duvall and Thomas Haden Church) entertained the Old School audience with his tales of the great American West and of the filming of this based-on-a-true-story movie. A book-signing and reception followed his talk. Like all Bentley lectures, this was free and open to the public. Kathleen Hughes and Edith Crockett share responsibili-ties for coordinating the lecture series, which honors the memory of one of the village’s most ardent preservation-ists.

Walking ToursFree, guided walking tours were once again offered before all of our events. Sherry Satin is chairman of this team of knowledgeable docents who lead visitors through Waterford and tell the colorful history of the village, its buildings, and many of its people. These dedicated docents are called upon to lead tours no matter what the weather—because people can and do turn up even in the rain. The Founda-tion also provides special tours upon request to private groups, including de-scendants of early Waterford residents and preservation/history organizations. John and Bronwen Souders frequently lead these groups.

Phillips Farm TrailThe Education and Land Use Commit-tees have begun a long-term program to make available the exceptional natural and historic resources of Phil-lips Farm. The Education Committee made a good start in the spring by opening a walking trail from the Mill, along Catoctin Creek, to the old Mill dam—about two-thirds of a mile. The two committees have begun planning

for appropriate signage, terms of use, and additional trails and interpretation.

In addition, Loudoun County teach-ers have—in coordination with the committee—conducted a trial series of field trips for nature and environmentalstudies, which proved very promising. Our thanks to Mimi Westervelt for reg-istering the Phillips Farm as an officialMonarch Way Station. Last year she tagged monarchs with a Parkview High School English-as-a-Second Language class (mostly from Mexico and Central America) and one of the butterfliesthey tagged was picked up later in Mexico – 1,912 miles away!

Kathleen Hughes Education Chair

The Waterford Foundation Concert SeriesThe Waterford Foundation Concert Series brings the finest of classicalmusicians to the area, and its proceeds contribute generously to the preserva-tion of the Waterford National Historic Landmark.

The 12th year of the Concert Series was ambitious, offering a record of six concerts at the Old School. The season began on March 5 with an afternoon of arias sung by future stars from the Washington National Opera’s Domin-go-Cafritz Young Artist Program. Seven fine young singers performed ariasby Mozart, Donizetti, Bizet, Puccini, Verdi, Strauss, Messager, and Korn-gold. The April 23 concert featured in-ternationally renowned Marc Ramirez, violin, his wife and musical partner Olivia Hajioff, and pianist Gregory Sioles of the Peabody Conservatory. On June 4 we heard the winners of the 2006 Levine School competitions, a yearly event that always astonishes and dazzles.

The fall season began on October 22 with Ibis, a unique chamber ensemble composed of harp, violin, viola, cello, and flute. Led by Boston Pops Espla-nade Orchestra Concert Master Joseph Scheer, selections included pieces written especially for these instruments Alan Geoffrion discusses his book,

Company, as well as The Physicians of the Western Loudoun Medical Center, Presidential Bank, and Nordstrom at Dulles Town Center. We also benefitedfrom the generous donations of wine from Kent and Karen Marrs of the Waterford Village Winery.

The entire series was fortunate to have had the willing hands of the entire committee, particularly Erin Clinard, in charge of set-ups, Barbara Josselyn, in charge of sponsors, and Cordelia Chamberlin, in charge of me, for which I was always grateful.

As a result of the annual Board off-site meeting, an ad hoc committee was formed to examine the long term use of each building and make recommendations and suggestions to the Board. The ad hoc committee met three times in 2006 and will finish its work in the first few monthsof 2007.

Several accomplishments were reached during the 2006 year on many of the

Waterford Foundation’s properties. Due to the previous year’s rain during the Fair, funds were not plentiful for optional projects.

Routine maintenance was not hampered. Additionally, we were able to properly scrape and paint both the Corner Store and the Second Street School. Substantial erosion control efforts were necessary to the banks on the small stream running be-hind the Red Barn (behind the Tin Shop).

Restricted funds (funds already received to be used on specific projects) allowed sub-stantial progress to continue on the Chair Factory. The second floor is to be used asthe archives location for the Foundation. We successfully finished adding adequateheating and cooling and refinished theupper rear storage room – which is now housing files and archive shelves. Late inthe year, work began on updating the rest of the upper level. However, structural issues were discovered in the roof rafters, which set our project timeline and budget back more than we had wished.

Considerable work to the Schooley Mill Barn was necessary due to initial struc-tural failings of part of one stone wall. Action was required immediately. We successfully repaired the stone work and were able to completely stabilize (and actually enhance) the barn’s structure. Ad-ditionally, siding within the inside of the “U” was replaced and painted. We were also fortunate enough to have the funds to

Development Committee Report

The Development Committee, with the help of the Waterford Foundation

President and Treasurer, started the year in great form after receiving a special chal-lenge: a matching gift of $50,000 if we could raise an extra $50,000 during 2006.This challenge came from a special sup-porter of the Waterford Foundation.

To achieve our goal of bringing in the extra “challenge” money, the committee mailed an appeal letter in the spring and combined the donations from this appeal with promotions at the Membership Booth during the annual Fair in October and the income from our first Christmas eventat the Mill. We were extremely pleased to achieve the goal of $50,000 and to successfully secure the matching $50,000 grant.

The Committee’s spring event, the 10K Race, was held in late April. The first 10KRace, held in 2005, began and ended at the Old Mill. The 2006, 10K Race began and ended at the Old School. The participants ran through the beautiful countryside and fields on the southeasternside of the village while friends came to cheer them on in spite of rain. The next 10K Race, to be held on April 14, 2007, establishes this as a successful annual event in helping to raise the profile of theWaterford Foundation.

After revising membership and renewal letters to supporters, the Development Committee focused on the Waterford Foundation Endowment Fund. This goal was agreed in 2004-5 and strategies have been put in place to establish a profes-sionally-run Endowment to enhance the Foundation’s mission of preserving the Landmark. The Development Committee took the lead in writing endowment poli-cies to share with the Board in the spring and it was agreed that certain donations would be earmarked for Endowment pur-poses throughout the year. The first funds,which were dedicated to the Endowment, were at the request of Nancy Doane and her children in honor of Logan Doane. The Foundation is extremely grateful for this dedication.

During the course of the year, more con-tributions and pledges were made to the Endowment, especially from the Board of Directors. Counting pledges and matches for the Endowment, it stands at $23,000.

The Development Committee had a very successful Membership Drive during the Fair. The Membership Booth drew the attention of many, who signed up as new members, renewed their membership, responded to the matching challenge grant, and bought the ever-popular posters of scenes around the village. The Member-ship Booth had one of the most successful years in spite of the weather thanks to the dedication of the many supporters of the Foundation and fans of the Fair.

The Foundation’s new Executive Direc-tor, John Kornacki, who joined the staff in August, took the lead on the Annual Appeal mailing. John has taken an active role in the Development Committee and has new ideas to strengthen the Waterford Foundation’s development plans. The An-nual Appeal drive raised approximately $34,500 this year.

During the later part of 2006, the De-velopment Committee, in conjunction with the Fair Mill Committee, held a special event to celebrate “Christmas at the Mill” in Waterford. Many lovely arts and crafts, which were from the Fair, were sold for Christmas. The Mill was open on December 3rd, which complimented other Waterford events. The Foundation’s December concert was also held that af-ternoon. The day proved to be a delightful experience and helped raised money for the $50,000 challenge.

Toward the end of 2006, many members of the Development Committee, along with members of the Education Commit-tee, focused on private foundation and corporate grants. Members of several com-mittees researched candidates and appeals were sent in an effort to secure funds to preserve our historic buildings. This will be continued throughout 2007.

The Development Committee would like to extend a sincere thank you to all who help to make the Waterford Foundation possible. Without your dedication and support, we would not be able to maintain Waterford’s place as a National Historic Landmark.

Land Use Committee Report

The mission of the Land Use Committee (LUC) is to help protect and preserve

the rural landscape within and adjacent to the Waterford National Historic Land-mark, as well as the historic character of Waterford’s architecture. This mission has become increasingly important as growth and development of the County races for-ward. Efforts to safeguard threatened and significant sites in and around Waterfordstill require the sustained diligence and vigilance of the Foundation: its members, its neighbors, and its friends.

Preserving the Phillips FarmThe committee is charged with imple-menting the various requirements of the grants associated with the funding for the Phillips Farm acquisition. The committee is monitoring the farm management plan re-quired by the USDA grant, which requires that the property remain in agricultural use. Currently the land is being leased to a farmer for the production of hay. The com-mittee also has begun planning for a small parking lot and trail access to the historic Mill and tail race to comply with require-ments of TEA-21 funding. In conjunction with the Education Committee, the firstwalking trail has been laid out for use by the public. A working group is being formed to develop a master plan for the property, the policies for public use, and the interpretive and regulatory signage.

Hutchison Farm parcelThe Foundation acquired the 25-acre Hutchison Farm parcel in May and imme-diately went to work preparing the Deed of Gift of Easement to the Virginia Depart-ment of Historic Resources, the entity that will hold the conservation easement. The Virginia Land Conservation Fund will assist with the costs of the easement. The Hutchison family restricted development of an adjoining parcel with the Waterford Foundation holding that easement. The committee also drafted the covenants that will apply to the property, surveyed appropriate building envelopes within the 25-acre parcel, and an entrance permit for the property was obtained from VDOT. At the same time, the parcel was put on the market. The property has a purchase contract, with closing anticipated in early 2007.

Uniting County, State and Federal Historic District DesignationsA number of private individuals volun-teered to join with the Foundation in a zoning application that would place their property, and much of the Foundation’s, into the County’s Historic Conservation and Cultural District. The committee is finalizing the application filing require-ments and anticipates filing in spring of2007.

The LUC expects the County to adopt the proposed Waterford Rural Area Historic and Cultural Conservation Guidelines (RAHCG), which the Foundation devel-oped in cooperation with the National Park Service who oversees the National Historic Landmark, as part of the zoning application. These proposed guidelines only will apply to those properties that voluntarily join the application to the County to be placed into the County’s His-toric District and are within the National Historic District, but outside of the current Waterford Historic Conservation Overlay District.

The Foundation’s application to place its properties (most notably the Phillips Farm) within Loudoun County’s Historic and Cultural Conservation District reconfirmsour commitment to preserve them, and is part of our ongoing effort to merge the divergent county, state, and federal boundaries that currently define Water-ford’s historic status. The proposed zoning application will thus permit the eventual matching of the County’s Historic District boundaries with those of the state and federal historic boundaries.

OverviewThe Waterford Foundation ended 2006 with unrestricted cash of $166,305, down from $284,108 at the end of 2005.

However, an additional $175,000 in cash was used for the purchase of the Hutchison Farm conservation lot, some of which will be recovered with the closing of a sale of that property. After the receipt of the sale proceeds and related grant money, unrestricted funds will be at about the same level as in 2005, leaving the Foundation in a position to budget for 2007 without planning to borrow operating funds, despite a second year of bad weather during the Waterford Fair.

Total restricted and unrestricted cash at year-end was $370,916, compared to the prior year’s figure of $532,428. These amounts include monies from grants and donations that may only be spent for specific purposes.

There were two notable financialevents during the past year. First, the Foundation was able to obtain $200,000 in grant funds to retire the remaining debt on the Phillips Farm, which is now owned free and clear and committed to permanently remain in agriculture.

Second, in May 2006, the Founda-tion purchased the 25-acre Hutchison lot (at the northwest corner of Old Wheatland Road and Milltown Road in Waterford), together with the pur-chase of an easement on the 25-acre lot immediately to its north, limiting development on the north parcel to a total of two primary dwellings, includ-ing the existing structure. Total debt of $632,887 was incurred to make this purchase.

The sale of the Hutchison lot, restrict-ed by a permanent easement limit-ing its development to one primary dwelling, is expected to close in May 2007. Half of the net cost on this transaction will be covered by a grant from the Virginia Land Conservation Fund, leaving an estimated net cost to the Foundation to protect this property of about $125,000.

For the second consecutive year, heavy rains severely impacted the income of the Waterford Fair, leaving a shortfall in this year’s Fair results of about $120,000 below budget. For a second year, post Fair expenditures were sharply reduced to partially make up for the lost income. As a result, since recognition of the cost of the Hutchison lot transaction was unexpectedly deferred until 2007, the Foun-dation still approximately broke even during 2006, before the non-cash gain representing the elimination of the Phillips Farm debt.

While traditionally the Fair has been the Foun-dation’s most significant source of earnings,for the second year in a row private donations substantially exceeded the Fair as a source of net revenue to support the Foundation’s activi-ties.

Revenues and ExpensesSignificant recurring revenue items for the year2006, including restricted funds, were the Fair ($296,045, up from $240,662 in 2005 – but down from $372,468 in 2004), contributions ($168,513, up from $129,650 in 2005) and concerts ($44,438, up from $38,068 in 2005). In addition, restricted grant revenue in 2006 was $202,500, covering the full remaining cost of the Phillips Farm.

The most significant ordinary expense itemfor 2006 was the cost of holding the Fair ($204,222, up from $194,484 in 2005 – and from $175,432 in 2004). Ironically, inclement weather tends to increase Fair expenses due to the operational problems it causes, even as revenues are drastically reduced. Other significant operating expense items were gen-eral and administrative expenses ($164,394, vs. 154,308 for 2005), property operation and maintenance (105,339, vs. $60,675 in 2005), and land preservation ($43,757, vs. $1,635,757 in 2005, the latter amount repre-senting the cost of eliminating the develop-ment rights of the Phillips Farm).

Profit and Cost CentersEach functional area of the Foundation’s activities may be viewed as a revenue or cost center. Some activities contribute net revenue while other activities incur net costs. To show a financial breakdown of the Foundation’sactivities, the table and graphs accompanying this report present revenues, expenses and net income or expense, by functional area. As the graph shows, in 2006 Development activities produced net revenue of $370,148, compared to net revenue of $91,824 for the Fair.

Treasurer’s Report

Fire at the Old SchoolOn January 25, 2007, the auditorium portion of the Foundation’s Old School building was totally destroyed by fire,along with the kitchen, bathroom and corridor in the “hyphen” area connect-ing the auditorium to the classroom portion of the building. The original classroom structure was saved, but suffered extensive water damage and broken glass.

Rebuilding the Old School will obvi-ously present the Foundation with new financial challenges, the magnitude ofwhich is impossible to assess until a settlement with the insurance com-pany is reached, engineering plans and specifications are completed and newconstruction bids are in. An ad hoc committee will be busy over the next couple of years completing and ex-ecuting plans for the rebuilding effort. Once the cost of this effort becomes clear, the Foundation will be faced with the task of financing the project.

Endowment FundLast year, seeking to build more stable revenues for the future, the Foundation launched a program to create a perma-nent Endowment Fund. The assets of this fund are still modest, but the fund now exists and the long term effort has begun.

From now on, an ongoing activity of the Foundation will be to grow its en-dowment each year with a goal of one day reaching a fund balance of at least $5 million, the income from which (in current dollars) would supplement other revenue sources to provide for the Foundation’s future financial stabil-ity. Contributions to the Endowment Fund are, of course, most welcome.

Milestones – Retiring Board of Directors Members

Barbara Josselyn

During her term on the board of directors, Barbara Josselyn worked tirelessly, especially in the area of fundraising. While on the Concert Committee, Barbara chaired the sponsorship efforts of that committee. Under her leadership, many new sponsors were brought onto the series. This un-derwriting helped with the task of bringing top caliber classical music to Waterford and Loudoun County. Additionally Barbara and her husband graciously opened their home, Melrose, to the Concert Committee for a fundraising gala one year.

As a member of the Development Committee, Barbara concentrated her efforts on researching and enlarging our contacts with corporate donors who might like to support the Waterford Foun-dation in its mission.

Barbara co-chaired the Fair’s Book Nook for two years and volunteered there many other years. She is still a loyal Book Nook volunteer.

We feel sure that Barbara will remain supportive of the Foundation’s efforts even though her time does not permit her to accept a second term on the board of directors.

Bruce Cleveland

Bruce joined the board of the Waterford Foundation six years ago and completes his second term in 2007. With his business, managerial and financial experience, he has been an extremelyvalued member of the Board of Directors and and its Executive Committee.

He served on the Save the Landmark Committee created to preserve the 144 acre Phillips Farm. Bruce’s expertise was essential to make the considerable grants, donations, and loans come together so the purchase of the Phillips Farm could become a reality. We shall always be grateful that Bruce tackled this project.

From 2003 until 2005, Bruce served as President of the Waterford Foundation which ensured that the closing of Phillips Farm purchase went smoothly and that the conservation easement on the farm was put in place. He then served as Chair of the Finance Committee and as Treasurer where he updated our financial reporting and budgeting process.

Bruce made arrangements for Presidential Bank to become one of the sponsors of the Founda-tion’s ever popular concert series underwriting the expense of the musicians. This has enabled the Concert Committee to recruit better and better talent thus improving one of the Foundation’s best loved outreach programs.

Bruce’s generosity will be greatly missed. As he and his family live nearby, it is hoped that the Clevelands will continue their selfless support of the Waterford Foundation.

Christine Gleckner

Christine Gleckner completes her two three year terms on the board of directors in 2007. As a land use planner with Walsh, Colucci, Lubeley, Emrich & Walsh, PC, Chris’s expertise was invaluable to the Waterford Foundation. Some of her work on Foundation projects was provided pro bono by her law firm.

Chris was active on the Foundation’s Land Use Committee each of her six years and chaired the committee for two of those years. One of the biggest projects Chris headed was the effort to extend the Loudoun County Historic Cultural Conservation District boundaries to match the National Historic Landmark boundaries.

Chris was also involved in the purchase of the Phillips Farm in 2003 and the Hutchison Farm in 2006. Getting these properties under conservation easement and determining building enve-lopes for future structures fell to the Land Use Committee during Chris’s tenure. Chris supported other committees by working at the membership booth during the Fair and assisting the Finance Committee. She was a member of the Executive Committee for one year.

The Foundation appreciates the hard work, creativity, and careful stewardship of these dedicated directors who are leaving the board. We know they will continue their involvement with the mission of the Foundation, and we thank them for all they have done to support our work.

Easement Donors & Lifetime Members

In 1974, the Waterford Foundation launched an innovative preservation program by which Waterford area historic proper-ties could be protected in perpetuity through open space, façade, and interior design easements. Since then, Waterford Easement Workshops have brought together the Foundation, easement donors, village residents, and all three easement holders: the National Trust for Historic Preservation, the Virginia Outdoors Foundation, and the Commonwealth of Virginia’s Department of Historic Resources.

Prior to 1993, when the Board discontinued the program, a lifetime member designation was conferred on any individual who con trib ut ed $1,000 or more, or granted an easement on a property within the National Historic Landmark District.

The Waterford Foundation thanks the following easement donors and lifetime members who have contributed so gener-ously to the preservation of the National Historic Landmark District.
