Dear Bill ,
After our telephone conversation of October 3, I gave alot of
thought to my resigning from the Town Celebrations Committee
I really think it is in the best interests of the Committee and
myself to resign at this time
I enjoyed working with you, Ray Flynn and the other members of
the Committee I learned a great deal about the "behind-the-
scenes" work that goes on to produce the successful celebrations
for the Town of Lexington
If in the future when my personal commitments lessen and if there is
an opening on the Committee, perhaps you will again consider me as
a member
Sincerely,
Mary Ann McKenna
