Goodbye
This is the last Members' Mail from me. I am retiring at the end of this month and would like to wish you and the Club well as we approach World Youth Day and move forward with the Master Plan. Exciting times ahead for all of us.
I have come to know many of you personally and appreciate and value these friendships. I look forward to saying hello when I come racing socially.
