Farewell, Rubi; Thanks for the Memories

After a year of dedicated service, Rubi is retiring today.   As the mascot for INARF’s 40th Anniversary Celebration, she was very busy indeed!  Here are just some of the ways she represented INARF over the past year:

• Rubi was downloaded from the INARF site over 300 times
  
• Rubi’s image was taped to over 250 wooden handles at the 2014 INARF Annual Conference
• 70 photos of Rubi were submitted by INARF members over the year.
• Rubi travelled the world, and was seen as far away as Norway!
• Rubi received an autograph from Graham Nash  
  

Rubi did not do all of this alone.  INARF is indebted to its membership for making the 40th Anniversary Celebration a success.  As we say goodbye to our circular friend, it is important to note that what we were really celebrating, and will continue to celebrate, is the strength and dedication of INARF members.  Thanks for forty years of growth and influence!
