Newim Leadership Retreat

Ginger enjoyed opening her parting gifts.
Below: Susie Kimes, founder of NEWIM, and Ginger, retiring president. We've served together for over 20 years. Hard to believe it's been that long.

June and Barbara -- a couple of the youngest looks grandmas in town.

June and Nancy -- this is one of my favorite pictures because you NEVER see June and Nancy so serious. These two are double trouble...and to have them looking so intently is a crack up!
Luann, Marty and Susan
Beautiful flowers from Shirley for Ginger.
Last weekend we met at Ginger's for a NEWIM Chapter Presidents meeting and then on Saturday for a leadership retreat. Ginger retired after serving as our president for 13 years. Jackie Rettberg is now our Executive Director. I've worked with Jackie for years and look forward to working with her as we transition NEWIM in the next couple of years from a volunteer organization to a more mature non-profit organization with paid staff. This will take a lot of work and development but I'm convinced that it's the right direction.
