Dear Trinity Family, I want to take a moment to let you know that I am resigning as the Office Administrator effective November 30.

I’ve enjoyed the past six years learning new things, getting to know you, and even the occasional chaotic moments. Thank you for all of your patience and care during my time here. I’ll treasure the friendships and memories that we’ve made together. MaryAnn
