Thank you!! It was a very difficult decision but everything has been running smoothly so the timing just felt right. I wish I had had time to get more involved with Main Street- there was so much more I wanted to do! All of you and the work you do in your
communities inspires me to no end. I'll still stay involved with ADHDA and plan on remaining on our Org Committee and Brew Cup Committee, so I hope our paths will still cross in related capacities ❤️ </div>
