Dear Jeanne,
I am forwarding the Board Order and the proclamation. Thank you very much for your help with
this. I would like to request that this be listed on the Board's agenda on May 24th. And, yes, I
guess it should be publicly presented. I will call to get your counsel on what exactly that means.
Let me know if I've done any of this wrong.
Thanks again.
Sincerely,
