Thank you everyone for a tremendous send-off. It was lovely to see everyone and to feel the "love." Thank you especially to Marcy Roke and Gary Zeugschmidt for ensuring the luncheon happened. Thank you everyone for my gift....I can definitely use the luggage!!! What a nice surprise. I will miss you all, but will see you again soon.

After 18 years, leaving Travelers Aid San Diego is bittersweet. I will miss everyone, staff, Board, and partners, but I am also excited to be taking on a new challenge. Both Travelers Aid in San Diego and Travelers Aid International are wonderful organizations that have tremendous impact both locally and internationally. I am blessed.

Charlyne Bryant, retired Operations Manager, surprised us with a visit yesterday. Lovely!!!!
