Re: Tree Board appointment
Dear Mayor:
I have been on the Laurel Tree Board for 10 years. I have enjoyed my time serving
on the board and working with the city staff and board members. We have
accomplished planting many trees through the city through Arbor Day but also
helping to educate the public about maintaining the trees.
I would like to serve only one more year. I’m hoping to recruit new members to
continue the annual Arbor Day celebration.
