Message Annual Report FY 2022
While calling a fiscal year-end report an Annual Report is common practice for most non-profit organizations, I am tempted to call our 2022 report a Celebration Report. We have so much to celebrate and be thankful for, thanks to the tremendous generosity, support and loyalty of the Timanous family, as well as the continued success of our beloved camp. Summer 2022 was a joyous summer and cause for great celebration as our daily camp lives moved much closer to normal, free from the most stringent of COVID-19 interventions from 2021. The barn was once again full with our entire camp eating meals together. We welcomed friends and families to camp once more, to attend Council Fire and Chapel, and to visit their campers and walk the bunkline. The Timanous spirit was strong! Further affirming our return to close-to-normal operations was our 105th (The Hundy + Five) Anniversary Celebration and Alumni Reunion immediately after camp closed, from August 13 - 15. Over 130 alumni returned to camp for a festive weekend in celebration of lasting friendships and a deep connection to our beautiful camp on Panther Pond. For many in attendance, the highlight of the weekend was the recognition of 75 years of Suitor Family leadership of Timanous through the dedication and renaming of our “ballfield” as Suitor Field. Almost everyone who donated to Timanous in the past year and who is reading this report knows how much the leadership of the Suitor family means to Timanous. We celebrate Dave and Linda for their visionary leadership in transforming Timanous to the successful non-profit organization of today, as highlighted by this report. While the numbers displayed here tell one part of our story, we know they are a reflection of the ways Timanous stays relevant in our lives- through the experiences of our campers today, the enthusiasm for our vibrant future, and our glorious past. I offer a heartfelt thank you to all who made 2022–from camp to the reunion to the honoring of Suitor family leadership–a year worth celebrating! Thank you for your enduring support, Garth Altenburg DirectorDirector’s LetterPAGE 2
Chair’s LetterDear Timanous Family, The 105th year of Camp Timanous was an amazing and satisfying season by virtually any measurement. First, we continued our historic standard of a completely full roster of campers and a full stable of veteran counselors. This does not surprise anyone, but it is a welcome attribute of our organization. Eighty-five percent of our boys returned from the previous year. Our 65 staff members averaged eight years at camp and altogether represented 499 summers on Panther Pond. These extraordinary numbers are a reflection of the excellence of our people and our program. Second, the robust nature of our enrollment combined with regular annual giving from every sector of our community meant that we concluded our fiscal year with a very strong balance sheet, as further described in the enclosed Treasurer‘s letter. Third, although COVID made an appearance, due to the incredible spirit of campers and staff alike, it did not meaningfully alter the reach or success of our programs. We sent out 17 camping trips and staged 16 special events on campus. Campers achieved 102 archery awards, 175 riflery awards, 22 sailing awards and 77 swimming awards. Eighteen boys were designated Polar Bears for dipping every morning of the summer. And in our camper-run honorary organizations, seven Voyagers and 22 Woodsmen were recognized. Fourth, the enthusiasm of the whole community was extraordinary, perhaps owing to the combined sense of both relief and relaxation that has followed in the wake of having our lives altered so much by the pandemic. Being together at Timanous was especially welcome because it felt like a measure of rightful normalcy had been restored. Finally, our after-camp reunion celebrating 105 years of Timanous camping was the capstone to an excellent summer. Here’s to the HUNDY + 5! It seems as if we’ve fully regained our rhythm in a very Timanous-like way, through resilience, collaboration and mutual respect. As always, for all these things we give thanks, Craig MacDonnell Board ChairBoard of Trustees Kelly Dietel Vinny Dotoli Fred Hollister Bill Leece, Treasurer Craig MacDonnell, Chair Will Mayer, Secretary Dave McElhinny, Trustee Emeritus Jeanette Michael Tim Morningstar Michael Prior Dave Suitor Linda Suitor Kara Van Norden Alan Washington Bruce Wimberly Garth Altenburg, Ex-OfficioPAGE 3
PAGE 4SANDY TATTERSALL FUND With our growing campership program, a broader community of boys will be able to gain from the Timanous experience. The income from the Sandy Tattersall Fund campership endowment will play a key role in expanding access to Timanous by providing campership aid in perpetuity. We are forever grateful for the endowment’s founding gift and continued support from the Samuel C. Tattersall Fund of the Maine Community Foundation. It is incredibly meaningful to know that we are not only carrying out a mission that meant so much to Sandy but also that his impact lives on in yet another profound way at Timanous. ANNUAL CAMPERSHIP FUND Timanous is on a path toward creating a strong culture of philanthropy through recurring support toward camperships. Each year we will have a critical need to fully fund financial aid commitments to returning campers as well as new families introduced to Timanous through this program. The funds raised in the final phase of the campaign allowed 29 boys to come to camp in 2022 and will help support even more through pledge commitments for upcoming summers. TIMANOUS FUND This unrestricted fund for camp’s financial security was instrumental in helping Timanous successfully weather our 2020 closure. We sought to rebuild and further add to this fund in order to guard against unforeseen challenges and finance-pressing capital projects. Continuing to grow our financial resilience will play a key role in ensuring camp continues to thrive for its next 100 years.

Treasurer’s LetterI'm happy to report that once again Camp Timanous remains in a very strong financial position as of the close of our fiscal year ending August 31, 2022. Despite serious declines in both the stock and bond markets, Timanous continues to be well capitalized. Total assets, including cash and investments, were just over $8.5 million, an increase of over $300,000 from last year. This was primarily the result of gifts received during the year from members of our very generous Timanous family. Donations were made to the Annual Campership, Timanous and Tattersall Funds, as well as a new, unrestricted giving category titled, "Where It's Needed Most." Donations into this category totaled $53,000, with $10,000 designated for camperships, and the balance remaining unrestricted. This was decided by a vote of the Board of Trustees. Tuition assistance to our Campership program was provided via the Annual Campership Fund and a draw from the Sandy Tattersall Fund. Finally, long-term debt includes a $500,000 SBA Economic Injury Disaster Loan (EIDL), which is a 30-year loan carrying an interest rate of 2.75%. Our ratio of current assets to liabilities remains very healthy. The Board of Trustees gave its approval to have an audit of our financial statements performed by the accounting firm Baker Newman Noyes of Portland, Maine. I am pleased to report that, once again, we received an unqualified opinion. Our 2021 and 2022 financial statements are included in this report. We continue to maintain our two investment accounts managed by MAI Capital Management. The Sandy Tattersall Fund is an endowment for camperships and the Timanous Fund is an unrestricted fund for capital improvements and contingencies. Due to a rapid rise in inflation expectations not seen since the 80's, the Federal Reserve has raised interest rates significantly this year, resulting in considerable losses for both stocks and bonds. Domestic and international stocks declined approximately 20% and 25% respectively, and bonds, normally a safe haven when stocks decline, lost 12%. The Timanous and Tattersall Funds had an allocation of 65% stocks and 35% bonds and bond equivalents during most of our fiscal year. We continue to favor a mix of mutual funds and low-cost exchange traded funds. For our fiscal year ending August 31, 2022, the combined net 12-month return was -13.6%. A benchmark return implied by a segmented blend of 65% stocks and 35% bonds returned -14.3%. These last few years have been difficult ones with Covid and the recent severe volatility in the financial markets. As Craig mentioned in his letter, Timanous continues to thrive through its resilience and collaboration. A sincere thanks goes out to everyone in the Timanous family for making this possible. Happy New Year! Bill Leece, TreasurerPAGE 10
