It’s Not Goodbye but rather See Ya Later!

 

Time Flies When You’re Having Fun

From a Literacy Tutor to the Literacy Coordinator, to Co-Leader of The Cooking Club (now GiGi’s Kitchen), to Recipient of the 2018 Westchester’s Above and Beyond Award for Outstanding Volunteerism (my favorite honor ever), to my present role of Site Manager for the Playhouse, these past 5.5 years has been an amazing and wonderful journey. My life will be forever changed for the better, because of the people I have met and known through GiGi’s Playhouse Westchester. It’s hard to put into words how each person has touched my heart and my life for the better. 

All I can say is Thank You for sharing your families’ lives with me. Knowing that I may have had a small part in a “Best of All”, a smile, a laugh, or a dance, fills me with so much joy.

 As my life’s path takes new turns and although I will no longer work at the Playhouse, I hope to continue to volunteer whenever I am able and plan to remain a part of the GiGi’s family.  Thank you for all you have given me. 

      HAPPY MEMORIES

Thank you to the Westchester GiGi’s Board of Managers for their ongoing support throughout the years.  And finally, to my partner in all of this, Tracy Smith. It has been an absolute pleasure to have worked side by side with you. Your enthusiasm is truly electric. GiGi’s Playhouse Westchester is the wonderful place it is in large part because of your intense dedication and love. Thank you! 

Happy New Year Everyone
