Dear Donges Bay Families,
 
It is with great regret that I inform you of the upcoming retirement of Cathy Wolff. Cathy announced her retirement right before winter break and her final day at Donges Bay will be on February 1st.  

Mrs. Wolff has been a staple to the Donges Bay community for several years. She has taken her role as lead Administrative Assistant very seriously and goes above and beyond for our entire community each and every day.  Her presence, friendship and smile will be greatly missed.

Cathy's position has been posted on the WECAN website and it is my hope to have the position filled within the next two weeks.  

Please take a moment over the next few weeks to congratulate Cathy on her retirement and thank her for her time here at Donges Bay!

Sincerely,
Alli Rudich
