From Julia Rabin

Dear ADPCA,

Over the past 10 years I have worked to keep things floating for you and allow for the greatest and most tender flexibility in structure /purpose of the association. I hope I have facilitated your needs for check writer and membership director.

Now I feel I must hand over this work to others. I was going to wait for one more year and announce this at the August meeting. But as this year has progressed I have realized that I can not wait for another year. I need to move on now.

So, it becomes important for you all to start thinking about this now. I want to make this transition smooth. Please take time to think about this BEFORE THE AUGUST MEETING. If anyone is interested in taking on the membership director job or the finance job please contact me ASAP. This will be discussed at the business focused community meetings in Ruston, LA. so that we will be able to choose the next person/persons to do this important work.

Keeping track of the membership is a straight forward task It can be time consuming with communications. It is also a great way to be in touch with lots of people. ADPCA has a computer for this purpose and a database that is operational, so the next person will inherit a system that is ready to go.

As for the finances, it is my sincere and serious opinion that the person who takes this position have experience in bookkeeping. They must be detail capable and be able to make a long term commitment.

This work and my connection to ADPCA has been a life line for me. I appreciate the trust you have had in me to do this work for these many years. I will miss this and I won’t miss this a bit..... I love you and I love what I believe ADPCA stands for: personal freedom with personal responsibility. And room for everyone at the table. My wish is that this group can continue in true ways to facilitate its rare purpose. Thank you for the opportunity to serve you.

Love to you all, Julia
