At the end of December, I will retire from the Sierra Club Angeles Chapter. I am very grateful for my experience working with Chapter staff and leadership, and its many groups, activity sections, committees, and task forces. Never in my life have I come to know so many people as friends and colleagues as I have with Sierra Club. Our passion to enjoy, explore and protect the planet is what we have in common as we struggle to address the most difficult climate problems that face the world today and for future generations. Thank you for the support you showed me as Chapter Director in this fight.
