Roberta was welcomed back to the Region for her 'last' visit as a member of the P2K professional team. "Last' is placed in quotes because in Roberta's new position as the Director of Bux-Mount County, her creative and sharp mind is already planning new Gesher L' Kesher initiatives. Nonetheless, it is an 'ending' of sorts and the entire Region duly acknowledged her outstanding efforts in helping the Partnership grow and develop throughout the years. Roberta was moved by the outpouring of good wishes at the farewell dinner that was made in her honor. And, ever the professional, she couldn't help but acknowledge the tremendous achievements of the newly completed Ethiopian Cultural Center, the Children Center for Education and Development and the incredibly exciting Women's Forum that she attended. She was impressed by it all and promised to 'stay in touch' once she gets settled in her new position. We all wish her the best of luck - Todah and B'Hatzlacha!
