used to be before being asked to join the board. She will put together an
article that can be placed in several publications to let our community
know that we are looking for members to this board. We have both 2-year
terms and 3-year terms available. Candidates will be made aware of the
fact that ours is a fundraising board and fundraising is our sole purpose.
The Board will review all applicants before recommending them to City
