[CALIBK12] Carol Shuey-- Thank you

[Linda Jewett]

I would also like to express my thanks and appreciation to Carol for  
her outstanding service and dedication to CSLA. I worked as a  
committee member on several conference committees with Carol and  
there is no one more organized or with better skills. When I was  
president-elect of CSLA Carol and the conference committee did a  
sterling job to bring off a wonderful "California Poppy" conference.  
During my time as executive director of CSLA I worked closely with  
Carol in many ways and admired her energy, good humor, dedication,  
and professionalism.

Thank you, Carol - you are one in a million!
