Enjoy Your Busy Retirement Beth! Contributed by Cathy Lee

Posted on Thursday, October 11th, 2012

Beth Cameron has just retired from the College. She most recently worked as secretary for Community Studies, and felt lucky to have been part of that department with its great and varied programs, and loved working there, although she was famous with the coordinators for her *nag lists*.

While Beth is retiring from Algonquin College, she tells us she will not be retiring entirely from working. Beth took Algonquin’s Web Site Development course this past summer and you can take a peek at how she will be filling some of her days by checking it out at www.DomesticGoddessCanada.com.

Beth says she will miss many of the friends and acquaintances she has made here at Algonquin, especially the ones with a keen sense of humour, as she always likes nothing better than a really good chuckle, but she is really looking forward to the next phase of her life. She is going to be even busier in retirement than she was when working full time at the College. Beth has many crafty type jobs lined up, including teaching her famous quilting, her “virtual assistant” business, and some travelling as well. You may remember having seen a number of the quilts she donated to her Community Studies Programs for raffles over the past several years. Her quilts have also won many richly deserved awards and accolades over the years as well.

Beth is also known for her 5 Orientation T-shirt dresses, coordinating the Summer Academy of the Arts, teaching quilting at Kaleidoscope, which led to the spin-off lunchtime quilting classes, instigating the Employee Suggestion Box under Bob Gillett, and for being a most creative and resourceful editorial board member for Live Laugh Learn. Beth will be greatly missed around the many areas of the College.

If you are looking for her in October, Beth says you will find her painting pumpkins in the pumpkin patch at Miller’s Berry Farm in Manotick. Beth, enjoy your very busy retirement.
