In closing, I am saddened to advise of the loss of Jeanne Brodeur with
the Aquarium of the Pacific. Many of you knew Jeanne as our Vice
President of Membership and Board member of several years. She was the
consummate professional and a credit to nonprofit service. We were
fortunate to have known and worked with her; she leaves a lasting legacy
within the GLAC community.
My thanks to each of you for your interest and participation; it remains
a true privilege to represent you. May all the chocolate treats find
themselves in your bag,
Jan
