Hi friend,
As I reflect on my time with MDS Canada, I recall an email I received some 10 years ago from my predecessor, Janet Plenart. Here is a paragraph from that email:
“May I be among the first to congratulate you on your new appointment to MDS Region V staff! You are joining a wonderful and compassionate organization! MDS is like no other organization I have ever encountered. While there are other volunteer organizations, nowhere will you find the depth and breadth of dedicated, compassionate, caring, skilled, and willing volunteers you will find here. It is quite remarkable. You will have the privilege and responsibility of finding the balance between providing visionary and strong leadership on the one hand, and getting out of their way and being the best cheerleader on the other hand! The staff is small, but highly committed and hard working. Nothing pretentious about this bunch!”
A decade later, I can tell you that every word she wrote about all of you rings true. Thank you for being who God has called you to be.
