Today is bitter sweet. This has been the most rewarding career I have ever had or dreamed of. Working in my home town, meeting people I would not have known, laughing, crying, creating; it has been a magnificent journey. Over the last few years, I have grown so much, going out of my comfort zone, running programs I would never have imagined participating in, let alone leading. I could not have done that without the amazing support of this community. You have all touched my life and I will forever be grateful for the memories, love and friendships that have formed from holding this position. Thank you to those that have come out in the last few weeks to share memories with me. I am honored to know that I have touched so many lives as you have touched mine. As many of you know, my family has been a huge support for me and has been my main source of volunteers (or voluntolds) for many of my programs. I could not have been so successful without them. But I could not have made the department a success if it wasn't for all of you coming out to programs, events, and stopping to chat, share ideas, and friendship. Thank you to all the parents for sharing your kiddos with me during Camp. Watching them grow and being part of their lives has been an honor. Thank you to the mature residents who I seem to fit right in with. Your friendship, guidance, wisdom, and laughs will carry forever in my heart. Thank you to my fellow staff of the Town of Goshen. I will miss our chats, laughs, and tears. Thank you to MY AWESOME Camp staff over the years. You were all my kids for a summer and I wish you all the best in life! You are going to do great things! Thank you to everyone who came out to programs, from near and far. I appreciated you taking the time to join us! It never felt like work, it was something that I loved doing, because of you all!! Thank you will never be enough for the last few years. I hope to see you from time to time and to participate in all the amazing programs our next Director will offer. There are many physical features that make Goshen Great, but our people are what make it a Town Above All Others. THANK YOU! With Love, Erin
