President’s Report (continued)

Thanks

This is a moment to thank one person above all. We are much the poorer for losing the passion, talent, skills and determination of Paul Leverenz, our president for the last several years. Paul has been simply outstanding and is respected nationally for his leadership here. He has worked hard to maintain contact with the medical and research communities here and I hope that we can fill his shoes in that and other areas. It is wonderful that he now has full-time paid employment and we all wish him well.

I want also to thank especially Patricia Smith for her work not only in managing the office so well but for being there to either assist or to drive all our major events this year. With her in the office has been a group of volunteers who are not only efficient but who create a calm and pleasant atmosphere: Donna Briese; Donna Smedley; Marg Wing; Trisha Moores; Joseph; Di Fleet; and Christine Hickman.

I thank also the coordinators of our various support groups throughout the State. Not least the Society is grateful to the people who coordinate and run our crucially important Support and Information Line: Jon and Vicki Foote; Alex Harris; Elaine Balfort; David Andrews; and Marilyn Pennack.

SAYME’s varied programs this year would not have taken place without the work of a number of its members. Elizabeth Cahalan above all has not only edited the magazine but assisted with both the support groups and in general has been the de factor coordinator of the SAYME program. Other key members have been Kristin Mulvihill, Skye Yuill, Emma Wing, and Sarah White, whilst Bec Cordingley was designer and webmaster of the website.

As usual, in thanking some people by name one is conscious that other members and volunteers have done great service but have been left in the shadows. I hope that they accept my apologies for passing them over.
