My family and I will be moving to South Carolina that following week. Until that time, I will be at the Fremont library and may see some of you, however, I did want to express my general appreciation to my fellow library workers.</p><p class="MsoNormal"> </p><p class="MsoNormal">I have enjoyed working with many of you over the past 16 years in Michigan libraries. It has been a very rewarding time with some challenges along the way. Thank you to each of you for your encouragement and partnership in serving the wonderful state of Michigan with quality library services.</p><p class="MsoNormal"> </p><p class="MsoNormal">Have a wonderful fall,</p><p class="MsoNormal"> </p><p class="MsoNormal">Ray</p><p class="MsoNormal"> </p><p class="MsoNormal">Ray Arnett, CFRE</p><p class="MsoNormal">Fremont Area District Library</p><p class="MsoNormal">104 East Main Street</p><p class="MsoNormal">Fremont MI 49412</p><p class="MsoNormal">(231) 928-0243 (direct)</p><p class="MsoNormal">(231) 924-3480</p><p class="MsoNormal">(231) 924-2355 (fax)</p><p class="MsoNormal"><a href="mailto:rarnett@fremontlibrary.net">rarnett@fremontlibrary.net</a></p><p class="MsoNormal"> </p></div></body></html>
