Newsletter from the President
‘Tis the season of ghosts and goblins and I hope you are all experiencing Fall Term courses as a real treat. The feedback we have received so far has been very favourable. It has been a very busy term for all of us and we hope this letter will catch you up with what has been happening with SCANS.

As you may already know, Alison Cullingham, our Office Manager, will be leaving us in early November. We want to publicly acknowledge Alison’s devotion to our organization in the seven and a half years she has been with us, and to thank her for her many contributions toward making SCANS the successful organization that it is. Alison will be greatly missed by the Board of Directors, the Curriculum Committee, and by our members. She has been a wonderful support to us all. Thank you Alison.

After interviewing a number of candidates, the Board has hired Sue Hawkes as our new Office Manager. Sue has had many years of experience as a project manager, office manager and bookkeeper. She will commence employment with us beginning November 6 and will be working on a part time basis. Her office hours will be posted on the SCANS website.
