[Adta] IMPORTANT INFORMATION ON ADTA OFFICE

[Robyn Flaum Cruz]

Dear ADTA Members,

Pat Gardner, ADTA Office Manager, retired from her service to ADTA Friday Feb. 2, 2007. Pat worked for ADTA for around 30 years and was a real mainstay of the organization. Some might say that over the years she "held the center" of ADTA, and I believe that the consistency she offered in the National Office benefitted ADTA over the years. If you attended a conference in recent history, you encountered Pat at the registration desk with a big glass of iced tea at her elbow -- most of the time she called you by name or knew where you lived if you told her your name.  

I believe the decision to enter a new phase of life without ADTA was not an easy one for her to make, and in discussing this with her, she stated that she wanted no fanfare or tributes "I don't like that type of thing," she told me. 

I do think that Pat might, however, enjoy hearing from some of us.  Feel free to send cards or notes to her at the National Office address. We will make sure that they are forwarded on to her.

Gloria Farrow remains in the ADTA office ready and willing to assist with all member business. You can contact Gloria by regular mail, phone, or with either of these email addresses: info at adta.org or gloria at adta.org.  

I know ADTA Members and the Board of Directors wish Pat Gardner a fond farewell and a big thanks for her years of service!
