PAID BOOKKEEPING OPPORTUNITY
As many of you are aware our longtime bookkeeper, Carol Jackson, passed away in early September after a nearly yearlong battle with cancer. She had been Neighbor Ride’s bookkeeper extraordinaire since 2005. While Carol was undergoing cancer treatments, we began transitioning her work to a new bookkeeper so she could focus on her health. Tina (our new bookkeeper) has been wonderful; however, she plans to relocate to Virginia and will be moving out of the area by early January.
