Good morning Captains
of Commerce -
As many of
you know the word has “gotten around” and those at the luncheon last week
learned that with great hesitancy we accepted Assistant Director Sylvia
Ackley’s retirement resignation. Her time
doing ministry work has been increasing steadily and she feels the need to
devote more of herself to that honorable pursuit. Sylvia will be staying with us
through December to assist in our holiday events and taking care of any loose
ends. We wish Sylvia continued happiness in her her ministry. Please wish her
well when you see her.
In the meantime please
keep in mind we will need to be searching for a capable Chamber Assistant
Director. I’d like to have someone hired so they might spend a few days with
Sylvia before her departure.
