“It was a total surprise,” said retiring HalifaxCOA director Barbara Brenton. Her staff and volunteers, with the help of her friends, put together a surprise lunch, complete with a beach theme cake, and even an entertaining skit on Wednesday.
Brenton has been in the position for almost nine years,coming from Avon, Old Colony Elder Services, and Hanson.
“I’ll miss the people,” Brenton said, “and the relationships we’ve formed…..The hardest part is having to say goodbye.”
