Some goodbyes are harder than others, and this is definitely one of them. Jim’s impact on our club goes far beyond. His dedication, humour, and friendship have left a mark on all of us. Though we’re sad to see him go, we’re proud to see him take the next step in his journey. Wishing you every success, Jim—you deserve it all.
