From the Horizon:

As some of you may have heard, I have accepted a new position and will be leaving Shelby Senior Services on October 25. I never expected that I would work here long-term, but I truly never expected it to be so short either. The decision was not easy. I love being here, being in my hometown, helping out in the most amazing community. However, I also have goals to obtain a clinical license which requires that I put in time in a clinical setting. I knew someday I would do that, but sometimes doors are opened when you least expect it. So here we are.

I am so grateful to all of you for putting your trust in me, sharing the good times and the bad times. Thank you most of all for looking out for each other – that’s what makes this job the best! A social worker can only do so much without the efforts of everyone around to help. It is amazing to see you all look out for each other the way that you do. It’s also been a good feeling when I have asked for pantry donations and so many of you stepped up. YOU have made this job so rewarding!

If you need help, please don’t hesitate to call us. I may not be here, but I fully trust all of my coworkers to step in and assist you until a new Family Caregiver Support Coordinator is up to speed. I will miss you all, and I wish you all the best. Take good care of yourselves!
