Dear Melita,

While we are truly saddened to hear of your departure from our San Francisco SKAL club, we are heartened to know our loss will be New Orleans' gain. We hold cherished memories of the many events you coordinated and of your sincerest dedication to the success of San Francisco SKAL. Your eloquence and determined spirit to lead this club will be long remembered and your influence will reverberate from far-off Mississippi. You will not be gone but held closely in our collective hearts.

Sending warmest best wishes to running your family pine farm and living a healthy and happy life. You will always be welcome to visit and celebrate with us.

Farewell dear lady and fellow Skalleague!

Robin
