Raised by a family of wolves since birth, Mowgli (Neel Sethi) must leave the
only home he's ever known when the fearsome tiger Shere Khan (Idris Elba)
unleashes his mighty roar. Guided by a no-nonsense panther (Ben Kingsley)
and a free-spirited bear (Bill Murray), the young boy meets an array of
jungle animals, including a slithery python and a smooth-talking ape.
Along the way, Mowgli learns valuable life lessons as his epic journey
of self-discovery leads to fun and adventure.

FROM THE EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR
Dear Members and Friends of The Social,
This is my last letter as Executive Director of The Social. The past year has been a roller coaster of challenges and emotions, but I don’t regret
a minute. Each obstacle and mistake has been a wealth of experience for me. It’s made me stronger and offered so many teaching
moments.
I’ve been so fortunate to meet so many wonderful new friends and colleagues. You’ve all touched my life in many ways and allowed me to
become part of yours. For that, I’m so grateful. I would like to offer my sincere thanks to all the volunteers who have helped make my job
easier every day. I would also like to thank the board of The Social for their guidance, counsel and friendship. They have been outstanding
partners in this endeavor. A special thanks to Justin and our support staff for putting up with me and making The Social look good every day.
Keep up the good work serving our growing membership.
Finally, I’d like to offer my sincere appreciation, love and gratitude to Andrea Sutherland. She’s been my rock since the minute I walked in the
door. We’ve laughed, cried, solved problems, organized events, cooked meals and even acted in murder mystery theater together! If you can
pack a lifetime of experience into one year, with one person, I’ve done that with Andrea. She’s the best of the best and I will miss her every
day!
I know I probably forgot to thank someone, but please know that you’re all in my thoughts and my heart. It was not an easy decision to leave,
but one that is ultimately best for my family. I will miss you all dearly, so don’t be surprised if I sneak in once in a while for some hugs. My
best to you all!
Sincerely,
Sarah Rogers, Executive Director
