It saddens me to inform you that I will no larger be organizing the Women On Their Way -Gettysburg Network, as I have accepted a new position in Baltimore, and will be leaving the Wyndham and Gettysburg on November 18, 2011.



It seems like just yesterday, we had our first mixer - that was January 22, 2009. I was very nervous, not knowing how many of you would attend and how you would respond. My nerves were quickly put to ease - you came and you were wonderful!



I started this group not knowing how it would grow, I just knew that it would and now I must past the torch on to YOU to keep it going.



I learned a new Portuguese word from a new friend (Betty A;) it's "Saudades" - she described my feelings as bitter sweet.



So no good byes, just Farewell Until...



I wish you all well and hope to stay in touch.



Your friend,



Carol

God Bless!
