We had a going away reception for Elonda yesterday at IU South Bend. She had been here 15 years in various capacities. She was the last surviving member of the department I first worked for when I arrived 12 years ago. Unfortunately, she got caught in some recent budget cuts and her position was eliminated. However, Elonda is going to bigger and better things. She is off to the local YWCA, where she will be doing event planning. That truly is her strength and she was visibly excited about the new opportunity, while at the same expressing her appreciation of the wonderful years spent here. Things do work out, don't they?
I'm sure when first given the news she was being laid off, things looked bleak for her, but now she's standing tall and ready to enter a new chapter in her life with a renewed vigor. We all wish her well.
