It’s with excitement (for her) and a little sadness (for us) that we announce that Lillian is retiring. As of June 1 she will be officially retired from the Bookkeeper position, which she has faithfully, diligently and cheerfully occupied since near the beginning of WCV. It is a big shift for her and for us.
I (Andy) have had the privilege providing some leadership to Vineyard Canada’s Engage initiative for the past number of years.
