To all the Friends and Supporters of the Western Massachusetts Regional Library System:

Thank you so very much for attending the WMRLS Staff Appreciation Party yesterday afternoon and showing the WMRLS staff just how much we library people in Western Mass. appreciate their decades of professionalism, dedication and friendship in supporting our efforts to bring the best in library services to the Western Massachusetts community. For those of you that could not attend, we felt that you were there in spirit, and please know that we who were there did our best to express your appreciation as well.

It was my honor as Vice President of the Friends of Western Massachusetts Regional Library System, on behalf of our President Antonia (Toni) Golinski-Foisy, to present to WMRLS Administrator John Ramsay a second check from the Friends in the amount of $10,000 to assist with the transistion.

I wish to thank publicly Eric Poulin, former President of the WMRLS Executive Board, and the WMRLS Friends Executive Board members who worked so hard to make this party truly a success: Lynn Kleindienst, Lynn Coakley, Dick Floyd, Linda Wentworth, and Louise Kanus. Thank you, especially, to all who brought such wonderful finger foods and beverages. It was truly an amazing, and thankfully very positive experience for all involved.

We wish our colleagues at the Western Massachusetts Regional Library System all the very best as most of them begin a new "chapter" in their lives. We will miss you. Please visit our libraries and keep in touch.
