A Note of Thanks
The Dairy Shorthorn Society has had a year of change since Ros Rimmer and Claire Ward resigned their positions as Breed Secretary and Office Manager back in May.
In the beginning
I wanted to say a special thank you to Ros and Claire on behalf of the society for the time and effort they gave whilst working with us. They invested their hearts and souls into their jobs, this allowed them to be attainable to members day
and sometimes night to sort out any issues that arose. Our Society had been through a short time of uncertainty and disruption prior
to Ros’s arrival. It was through her determined hard work, working well along side the office holders at
the time, that she helped steer our Society to where we are today. The very successful World Conference was a tremendous success for her and the team. Ros’s professional approach insured the Society gained much respect within the farming industry.
Claire gave unswerving loyalty over twelve years seeing and being part of many changes and was always
a bedrock behind the scenes. Her friendliness and the quiet way she efficiently completed all her work was outstanding. No task was too hard or too menial. All the numerous responsibilities that her job entailed were safe in her hands. It was also good to have her at the end of the phone to brighten members days.
We all wish them every success in their future ventures.
