JIM STREET There are times when an organization such as ours receives a special gift. That is, a member who gives so much of himself with caring and dedication to the group. We are so very fortunate to have such a member in Jim Street. We want to thank him for being there for us all of those years. Jim and his lovely wife, Ginny, will soon embark on a journey that will undoubtedly be a very rewarding experience with Missionary Ventures in Mozambique, Africa. Even though we will remain in touch via email, we will miss Jim and Ginny very much. All of us in the LAA wish them the best in their new life adventure.
THANKS JIM!
