“The Fiesta was a memorable occasion, filled with warmth, joy, and cherished memories. The party served as a reminder of the incredible JAG community we have cultivated over the years.”
July 18, 2023

Dear JAG Family, 

I am writing to express my heartfelt gratitude to all those who attended the Retirement Fiesta held in my honor. It was an incredible pleasure to have so many people join me in celebrating the culmination of my journey as the President of Jobs for Arizona's Graduates. 

The Fiesta was a memorable occasion, filled with warmth, joy, and cherished memories. The support and well-wishes I received was overwhelming. The party served as a reminder of the incredible JAG community we have cultivated over the years.  

To those who were unable to attend the Retirement Fiesta, please know that your best wishes reached me, and I am grateful for your kind words and support. 

As I move on from my position as President of JAG, I would like to take this opportunity to urge you to continue supporting this incredible organization. JAG has a proven track record of transforming the lives of countless young individuals, providing them with the tools, guidance, and opportunities they need to succeed. Your continued involvement, whether through volunteering, mentorship, or financial contributions, will ensure that JAG continues to thrive and make a profound impact on the lives of our future generations. 

While my retirement marks the end of an era, it also signals the beginning of an exciting new chapter for JAG. I have full confidence in the abilities and vision of our new President, Marjorie DeRubeis, who will undoubtedly steer the organization towards even greater heights. I encourage you to extend your support and collaborate with Marjorie, working hand in hand to achieve the shared goal of empowering Arizona's youth. 

I will forever cherish the memories and friendships forged during my tenure, and I eagerly look forward to witnessing the continued achievements of JAG under the leadership of the new President. Please reach out to Marjorie quickly to let her know how you would like to be involved in supporting JAG's mission.  

Additionally, I would like to encourage you to consider making a gift to support our incoming class of JAG students on their journey. Your generous donation will provide them with the necessary resources and opportunities to overcome obstacles and achieve their full potential. Together, we can empower these young individuals and equip them with the skills and confidence they need to thrive in the workforce and in life. 

Once again, please accept my deepest appreciation for your presence at the Retirement Fiesta, and for your unwavering support of JAG.

With warm regards and sincere gratitude,
