2-1-1 Big Bend News

August 2011




Dear  ,  

    

Randy Photo
Randy Nicklaus, President
This was a very sad week for our 2-1-1 Big Bend family.  Rosey Ilic, our Director of Hotline Programs, lost her fight against cancer on July 30.  Rosey worked for 2-1-1 Big Bend for the past five years.  She helped us earn our national reaccreditation and established many strategies that served our clients very well.  In February we recognized Rosey with the John Kalafat Founders Award for her excellent leadership and mentoring of others. Rosey was a wonderful person and co-worker.  Her friends and family will miss her dearly but she will always remain with us in our hearts.
