It took me a while to get around to handing in notice when they had such problems, but in the end I realised it was actually better to leave, because they were going to continue like they were no matter what I did. It has freed up my time and energy to do more useful things, and I am Jenny Woolfhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16881781466502273314noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8984234400935984998.post-41324210354400221522016-11-18T22:08:09.282+00:002016-11-18T22:08:09.282+00:00Well good luck on your new adventures, Val, and I&...Well good luck on your new adventures, Val, and I'm glad you were able to move on from your post at the WI on your own terms.

Eventually most of the most had difficulty getting to meeting since they didn't drive anymore. Time to move on.

Apart from the anxiety of having to dispose of the hall I would be feeling on top of the world.

I won’t be alone, others will do the same. I think I’ve gained something, don’t you?"<br /><br />Yes, Valerie, you certainly have. You now only learned a lot, but you also gave a lot back to the Institute. Wow...I can't believe it's been three years since you were elected president at WT because it seems like only yesterday when I recall reading your post saying that you had.
