Re: Letter of Resignation:
Palm Desert Sister Cities Committee
Dear Rachelle:
It has been my great privilege to serve as a member of the Palm Desert Sister
Cities Committee for about three years. I have been a part of and have seen a
lot of accomplishments over this period of service. After some real soul-
searching, I have decided to submit my letter of resignation, effective with
your receipt of this notice.
I will be forever grateful for the support and encouragement of our City
Council members, our City Manager, Carlos Ortega, and all of the Sister
Cities Committee for their support during my period of service. My wife,
Pat, and I will always have fond memories of the three trips we have been
privileged to take to Ixtapa-Zihuatanejo, Mexico.
One of the principal reasons for having made this decision is that I have been
asked by the incoming President of my Rotary Club to become a member of
the Board of Directors, with specific responsibilities for developing
International Service projects. I have been a member of Rotary for nearly
thirty-four years and, with the substantial investment of time and energy
in this organization, I feel it is time for me to change my focus.
Sincerely,
- 04:e
Gil Slagel
