Larry and Penny retire from IL Get Away

Penny and I have retired from co-ordinating the Special Touch IL Summer Get Away. We have not missed an IL Get Away since 1985 when we attended the first IL Get Away as caregivers. We leave behind a fruitful legacy and have a lifetime of memories that we will cherish.
Here is the email we sent to our IL Get Away Team Leaders:
Greetings, we have prayerfully decided to retire from coordinating the IL Summer Get Away. We are proud of the fruitful heritage that we leave behind. We have attended every IL Get Away and have served as caregivers, team leaders and coordinators. We knew someday the time would come to retire and we are sure that this is what the Lord would have us do. We are committed to praying for Special Touch every day and for the new IL Get Away coordinators. We will do whatever we can to help provide for a smooth, seamless transition.
The IL 09 Get Away staff will be receiving a thank you letter for serving at Get Away. Embedded in that letter is our retirement announcement. We have a lifetime of memories that we will cherish and have counted it both an honor and a privilege to serve Special Touch Ministry, the IL District of the Assemblies of God, U.S. Missions and most of all those people who have disabilities.
For those of you who use our Special Touch emails please change our email addresses to:
Larry@engageafrica.com
Penny@engageafrica.com

Please join us as we pray for a smooth transition.
