  • 1.  Pat Wand - memorial resolution

    Posted Apr 30, 2023 09:29 PM

    Friends,

    If you have not heard, I am sorry to share the news of Pat Wand's passing.  Pat served the association in so many capacities and most recently as the Senior Endowment Trustee until July 2021.   I will start to work on a memorial resolution and if you would like to assist in writing, please let me know.  Our thoughts are with her family and each other as we reflect on Pat's life of service.

    The Peace Corps announcement is  a lovely tribute to Pat.

    Thanks for sharing Maggie.  Spending time with Pat in Sharjah and Dubai is one of my fondest memories.  I am happy to help.

    I too would be honored to help. Pat was so dedicated to so many things, and such a gracious person.
