Yeah baby!

This just went to press:


15 May 2007
Dear SDCC Board of Directors,

As many of you already know, I will be getting married this summer. I am writing to inform you that I will not be returning to work in the office after my honeymoon, and that my last day here before the wedding will be Wednesday, June 20.

I am giving much more than a two-week notice, because I care about the choir immensely, and want to make every effort to ensure that it succeeds: I am willing to dedicate my remaining time here to helping to find, interview, and train my own replacement, so that the office is not left understaffed in my absence.

In the meantime, I will also continue answering the phone and responding to email enquiries, scheduling and overseeing the office side of May and June’s auditions, and maintaining the music library. I will also help with the next mass mailing (of registration packets), provided that this project takes place before the 20th of June. I do request that I not be asked to start any projects other than those stated above in the next five weeks, as the stress of the wedding will be mounting considerably and I may therefore find it in my best interest to finish working before my intended date.

I wish the choir all the best as it continues into its 18th year and beyond. This amazing organization changed my life, and I have faith that it will continue to do so for many more children for many years to come.

Sincerely,

Elle-Meme
Administrative Assistant


I think it sounds fair. The meeting just ended, so I've yet to hear the reaction to it, but the few people I ran it by (namely my Dad, [finance manager], and the Board Chair who also happens to be my God-Uncle) seemed to think it was good. On verra...
