[Hopespringpcsg] FW: You're invited to Join Inspire Health for Virtual Programs

Mon Apr 27 09:54:39 EDT 2020

Hi all:

See below for the weekly HopeSpring e-newsletter.

Two items stand out in it.

The 1st is the announced retirement of Jane Mitchell, the Executive Director of HopeSpring.

In the all too short time she has been leading HopeSpring, she has accomplished a lot & will be sorely missed.

The 2nd is within the PCCN W-W blurb announcing that the April monthly support group meeting has been moved to Tuesday 5 May 20 and will be a virtual meeting held on ZOOM. 

Take care & stay well.

Glen

Dear Glen,
This is what's happening remotely at HopeSpring this week. 

>From the Desk of Jane Mitchell, Executive Director: 

COVID-19 is making many of us rethink our lives. I have decided to not renew my contract and retire from HopeSpring to spend more time with my husband and family and to finish my book. My last day is April 30th.  I am pleased with how HopeSpring is moving ahead, especially in this time of COVID-19. The team is wonderful and is there for you even though we are working remotely. Don’t forget to continue donating to HopeSpring, people affected by cancer are especially vulnerable at this time. Many thanks to HopeSpring for this opportunity to help those affected by cancer.
-Jane Mitchell, Executive Director
