More staff goodbyes
This past Friday was the last work day at the affiliate for two women who made a huge difference in our organization. Mary Rucker has been with us for many years, administering the Family Selection and Support functions. She was the face and voice of Habitat Williamson to many of our homeowners and will be missed.
And our Renovation Station Manager -- champion for the cause, tireless dreamer and doer -- Bobbi Copeland has moved on as well. She was truly the engine behind the store's launch, its staffing and its current success. Her shoes are big ones to fill! We'll miss you, Bobbi.
