Farewell and Best Wishes

Staff and friends of Lake Erie Nature & Science Center gathered to say farewell and best wishes to our longtime Director of Development and Community Relations last night. Renee Burslem and her family are relocating to Lake Placid, New York where Renee's husband Scott has accepted a wonderful new job and the whole family will have the opportunity to ski, hike, golf and fish in a beautiful area of the country.
Renee leaves an incredible legacy of achievement here, leading impressive growth in the financial support that fuels the mission of our nonprofit Center. At the goodbye gathering last night, tributes included a proclamation from Bay Village Mayor Debbie Sutherland and "gifts" aimed at Renee's ever-present sense of humor. We know there's another organization in her new home that will benefit from Renee's considerable talents and we're happy to have had her here for 9 years!
Best wishes Renee and family! As the Women's Board said, we'll miss your smiling face!
