Contra Costa County CONTRA COSTA CO.
651 Pine v
Martinez, CA 94553
Dear Sirs:
We the members of the Veterans of Foreign Wars, Sgt. Charles R. McCurtain Post
10789, find the article printed on Tuesday, April 6, 1993 in the Brentwood News
puzzling.
It was our understanding that a final meeting was to occur between the American
Legion, the Veterans of Foreign Wars, and Supervisor Torlakson to hash out the
details. This meeting never took place. Instead an article appeared in the
Brentwood News stating that a new Board of Trustees is to be formed with two
members from the American Legion, one member from the VFW, along with a
representative from the County, and a member representing the City of Brentwood.
We feel there should be equal representation for the veterans organizations, one
county rep, and exclude the member representing the City of Brentwood since the
city is not involved with this county owned building.
The article also states that applications for the Board of Trustees were to be
returned to Supervisor Torlakson's office by April 12. As strongly as we feel
about appointing our own representatives to this board, several of our members
complied by requesting applications more than once, and none have been received
to date so obviously none have been returned by the VFW.
Therefore we ask that the Board of Supervisors reconsider this decision and
handle this matter by having equal representation of all local veteran groups
involved with the building plus one county representative.
Respectfully,
,IJ
Frank Luna, Commander 91-92
Clifford J. Lloyd, Commander 92-93
Douglas D. Wright, Commander 93-94
