<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 11.0pt;">Dear Federation Family and Board Members,</span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 11.0pt;">Christina Thompson, Melissa Thompson\u2019s sister will be filling Lucia\u2019s position! She will be training with Lucia when it is convenient for Lucia to do so. I am very pleased and relieved that someone from our Federation Family was able to fill this important spot. Christina has a background in outreach so I think she will be a perfect fit for our future. </span></p>
