It is with both sadness and joy that we accept the retirement of our long-time bookkeeper, DJ Lynch.

She worked with Chatham Literacy since 2012. Her last day is November 30, 2025.

DJ will be greatly missed, but we wish her well on her pickleball journey! Thank you, DJ!

What’s a book that changed your life -- or simply brought you joy? We hope you’ll consider sharing the gift of literacy with an adult learner who’s working hard to build new skills and open new doors. chathamliteracy.org/become-a-tut...
