Thank you, Joan Sheehan

After many years of involvement, Joan Sheehan is stepping down as president and as a member of the Board of Directors. The board wishes to pay tribute to her.

So it is with a heavy heart, but mostly GRATEFUL and definitely understanding.

You have helped build this foundation and have contributed to making our whole community stronger and better. You have always had a way to make everyone feel welcome, comfortable and appreciated. Your leadership has touched every single one of us.

We will continue leading with our hearts and offering help where needed and when we can. It's all about taking things one day at a time and staying HUMBLE and KIND.

We also know that although you will be stepping down as president, we can and still will have your wisdom and support.

Thank you Joan Sheehan for just being you and for always leading by giving the example.

Lots of love and appreciation.
