It is with sadness that I advise you that Susan Schmidt has tendered
her resignation from the Faculty Club effective December 31st, 2009.
While we will miss her greatly and she leaves huge shoes to fill, I
am pleased to let you know that she is looking forward to moving on
to an exciting new position which will afford her new opportunities and
personal fulfillment.
Susan’s dedication to the Club is unparalleled and she has been
instrumental in our success. It has been my honour to have worked side
by side with Susan for the past twenty years. She will be missed.
A farewell has been planned for February. If you would like to attend,
or contribute to a gift, please contact me, Donna, directly at 966-7774.
