Words from Will...Thank you, Wanell Soslow!
|
|
Just before I was appointed in May of 2016, I came to visit with the Staff-Parish Relations Committee, talk with Rev. David Adkins and meet some of the staff. It was a fun moment, as the person at the front desk wasn’t sure I was legit, so
Wanell Soslow rescued the situation. I had actually been told about her before I got here, as she has relatives in the church I served in Arlington.
Wanell has served ably for 24 years on our staff and will be retiring on August 8. Her job as Office Manager has evolved and expanded through the years. Quite often it has meant dealing with sticky situations that require the ability to respond at a moment’s notice. Since her history at First Church goes all the way back to Brown Street, she has information on just about everybody, information on which all of us have come to depend. I have also appreciated the great way she gets to the point about issues of concern...an honesty that is crucially important. Most of all, I love Wanell’s laugh that reverberates through the hallways. Often I leave my office to get to the main office to be sure I’m not left out of the joke.
There is no replacing Wanell Soslow. During these next weeks before her retirement, I hope you will take time to tell Wanell how much you appreciate her. She is an amazing lady who loves you and First Church.
Thanks, Wanell, and God bless you on the next chapter of your ministry in the name of Christ.
