📢 Welcoming Alex - a new member to the Community Center Team 📢

[Paula]

Hello everyone 👋

I hope this message finds you well and that you’re enjoying the holiday season with your loved ones.

I’m excited to share some very special news with you all 🎉: I’m going to be a mom! 🐥 This new chapter fills me with immense happiness and anticipation 💕, and I’m looking forward to the many joys and challenges that come with it. As a result, I’ll be stepping away from the Community Center for a few months, starting January 13th, 2025. While I’ll miss our conversations, reading your stories, and learning from each of you, I’m already looking forward to reconnecting soon and continuing our wonderful journey together ❣️

In my absence, I’m thrilled to introduce @Alex, who will take on the role of Community Manager for both our English and Spanish-speaking communities. @Alex will work closely with @Quincy, @Bhumika, @Emilie, @Rebecca and @Elisa to ensure the Community Center remains as vibrant and supportive as ever. I’m sure Alex will be able to support you to the best of his ability! Just to give you quick trivia, he loves all kinds of sports and isn’t picky when it comes to food 😉

Please join me in giving @Alex a warm welcome! I’ll now hand things over to Alex so he can introduce himself. 😊

Sending you all a big hug 💖

Paula

Hello @Karen114, thank you so much for your kind words!  😊Time really has been flying by these last 9 months, and it's hard to believe how quickly it's all passing.

I’ll miss our chats here. Wishing you nothing but the best and talk to you soon 💖
