And yes, you read correctly... after 5 and 20 years respectively, both Becky and Blaire have decided to retire. They have both declined to have a virtual retirement party at this time... at least until zoom figures out how to allow us to hug and share food through the tiny camera lens. If you would like to send them a note, please mail a card to the Center to their attention and we will forward it along. You can also email a note by sending it to Lev at lev@amherstsurvival.org to be forwarded to their personal addresses. 

Both Blaire and Becky have brought tremendous love of our community, fast moving energy, and deep commitment to the mission. Many many thanks for their years of service. We really miss them both!
