Fond Farewell to Angela Lucas

It is with great sadness for our Regional Development Midwest team – but happiness for Angela Lucus – that I announce that she will be leaving the ND Development Office to be closer to her sister and nephew in San Antonio, TX.  Coincidentally, she will also be closer to the Austin, TX, music scene.
 
Angela has been a valued contributor to our Midwest team’s fund raising efforts and her bright smile and energetic personality will be greatly missed.  Angela’s departure date will be end of November, early December.  Please make sure to stop by in next few weeks to wish her well on her new journey and future endeavors.
 
Any questions let me know.
 
Chris Murphy
