It’s the start of a new year and here at the center, we are experiencing some bittersweet yet exciting changes. After 35 years of service to her community our beloved nutrition director, Fran Lampidis has retired.
I happily worked alongside Fran for nearly 19 years and while it may seem strange not seeing her smiling face in our office on a daily basis, I look forward to seeing her here at Gibson as one of our regular participants.
