Good day Lu and All,
I write to let you know that I am resigning from the SMPL Board, effective immediately.
This time of many changes for our library coincides with changes in my life, and I will not have time to
devote to our library for the foreseeable future.
It has been a privilege and a pleasure to serve our community in your fine company.
I send all my best wishes for you and our beloved SMPL.
Yours sincerely,
Arlene Hopkins
