After 20 incredible years, we’re celebrating Barb Smithson as she begins a well-earned retirement!

For two decades, she’s brought dedication, kindness, and consistency to everything she’s done, leaving a lasting impact on her colleagues and our organization. While we’ll miss her deeply, we’re excited for what’s next—more time in the garden, more moments with her beloved dogs, and plenty of delicious home-cooked meals. Most of all, she’ll get to enjoy extra time with her two sons and her cherished granddaughters, making memories that matter most.

Thank you, Barb for 20 years of hard work, heart, and commitment. Wishing you a retirement filled with sunshine, wagging tails, and recipes you finally have time to perfect. 💐🐾🍲

Congratulations and best wishes on this next chapter! 🎉
