Farewell, Kelsey

Kelsey is headed back out into the world for continued professional adventures in wellness, leadership, and entrepreneurship! Kelsey finished up this week but may continue to be involved as a volunteer with the 4-H program. A short message from Kelsey is below.
It has been an absolute pleasure to get to know each of you and work with you this short while. I am grateful for your kindness, and generosity, and welcoming me to the team. 
I appreciate all the work you do – and the passion with which you do it – to serve our community. I wish you all the best as you continue to do all the great things!
