Resignation Statement
|
Some might ask 'what has changed?'. Well actually a great deal. From now on, as Sanctuary Manager, I answer to the committee, I follow their instructions. I hand over the reins because I have extreme faith in the committee and the new Chairperson. The majority have served Roo Gully since its inauguration as a registered charity, some have been supporters before that time, most importantly all of them are fully commited to and believe in the aims and objectives of our organisation, so we are in good hands. Sadly, I feel my resignation as leading this organisation
is necessary for its future. I would like to thank the Committee
for their terrific support since 2002, and many who have supported
Roo Gully way before that time. I also want to thank all of
you, our supporters, who have hopped aboard our Roo Gully dream
and who have travelled a roller coaster journey of emotions with
us. It sure has been a rocky ride especially in these last few years
but we have so many things to be proud of, and I want to remind you
of our biggest triumphs. Here's wishing Roo Gully and all its inhabitants a long, happy and very secure future. Carol Lander. |
