This is my final letter to you as President of the Friends. I will miss my day-to-day involvement with the Morro Bay Friends of the Library. However, I'm not going very far away. I will be forever grateful to have worked with this organization and this phenomenal 2012 Board. I have no doubt that the MBFOL is in the best of hands moving forward to the Library remodel … and beyond.
