To the editor:
Last Thursday evening a lovely event was held at the Tunstall Bay Clubhouse to celebrate my retirement from the West Vancouver Board of Education. I have had the privilege of serving the people of Bowen Island, Lions Bay and West Vancouver as a trustee on the Board for the last twelve years and am now moving on to other endeavours.
I would like to thank the Community School Association, the Bowen Island Municipality and the BICS Parents Advisory Council for all the time and effort that planning such an event entails. Special thanks must go to the members of the organizing committee - Penny Naldrett, Kathryn Gish, Kristin Jarvis, Christine Walker, Yvonne McSkimming, Pernille Nielsen, Helen Wallwork and Nicola Murray who worked so hard to make it such a wonderful evening. And thank you to Superintendent Chris Kennedy and former principal Jennifer Pardee for their very kind words.
I was humbled by the event and wish to thank all those from both on and off the island who were able to attend and celebrate with me.
Once again I am amazed at what a truly remarkable community Bowen is.
With thanks
Jane Kellett
