A bittersweet Friday as today was our dear Vickie’s last day 🥹
Everyone who comes by our office has met the infamous Vickie at the front desk. She’s worked at Wake for many years – in our office, the admissions office, and even at the Reynolda House! Vickie’s kindness, friendliness, and endless chats about the newest tv shows will be deeply missed, but we are thrilled for her retirement 🫶🏽 Cheers to you, Vickie!
