Changes in Board Composition

Dolphins:

Just a short note to let you know that effective immediately, I am stepping down from the Board for personal reasons. I consider myself to be extremely privileged to have worked with so many dedicated volunteers over the past number of years.

I wish each of you fast swimming, good friendships and lots of fun! Will see you on the deck!
