Dear Mayor de Weerd:
I am writing in response to the upcoming Parks and Recreation commission
vacancy in order to express my interest in a commissioner position.
I served as a commissioner briefly 2007-2008, and resigned only to pursue a
master's degree. The degree is complete and I would like another opportunity to
serve on the commission again. I feel my organizational skills and understanding
of the parks system and city government would be an asset to the commission.
I am available to meet with you most afternoons and look forward to hearing from
you. Thank you for your consideration.
Sincerely,
Sharon Borton
