Theresa M. Colarullo, Chairperson
Community Appearance Board
Town of Highland Beach
3614 South Ocean Blvd.
Highland Beach, FL 33487
Dear Theresa,
I apologize for the delay in responding to your September 1st letter. I had
originally expected to be back in Highland Beach for the Board's September,
meeting, but as things are turning out I will not be able to make it. It is
apparent now that I will also be expecting future lengthy absences from
Highland Beach due to continuing business matters in Canada. Therefore I
feel that it is in the best interests of the Board and only fair to other members
of the Board that I tender my resignation. I do so with sadness and reluctance
as I have very much enjoyed my association with the Board and its members
and realize the Community Appearance Board performs a very vital role in
the continued good management of the Town of Highland Beach.
It is my hope that within the next year or two I will be in a position to
resubmit my application to the Town's Talent Bank, as I sincerely wish to
make whatever contribution I am able to the goverance of our wonderful
community of Highland Beach.
Yours very truly
d� r
Jack Lanthier
