Dear Volker and David

Sincere thanks, not just for getting us through the last few weeks, but also 
for your contributions as Vice Chairs. It is big shoes that we fill and I trust 
we can rely on your wise counsel moving forward, particularly on how to deal 
with difficult and cantankerous Chairs!

Thanks again

Donna

Dear fellow councilors,

all things come to an end! With the end of last weeks council session our term 
as wardens of the vacant throne/co-chairs ended as well. We would like to 
welcome Donna Austin and Heather Forrest as new Vice Chairs as in accordance 
with their respective selections by their houses they have been selected to 
take over this role at this point.

It has been an absolute pleasure and joy to co-lead the council for the past 
month and we wish both the next chair and the new vice chairs the best success. 
It is a tough job, but also very rewarding, and the stellar assistance from 
staff makes it even better.

As for us, we will return to our regular position as councilors and are looking 
forward to continue working (and arguing, if necessary) with all of you.

Thank you,

David Cake and Volker Greimann
