Western Regional association meeting and a fond farewell to Jackie!

On July 29th, the western regional CCHC association meeting was held at the Mountain Area Health Education Center in Asheville, NC. The meeting was very well attended by region CCHC’s. Chrissy Wolfe of Buncombe County, was elected as chairperson when Linda Weldon stepped down as chairperson after several years of service. (Thank you for all you’ve done, Linda!)

The meeting was also attended by Resource Center staff – Jeannie Reardon, Mary Cleary and Jackie Quirk, who was retiring later this same week. After the meeting, several people took Jackie out to lunch to celebrate her retirement and say “goodbye” though she did promise to come to next year’s conference!
