To Whom it May Concern:
It is with regret that I must tender my resignation from the Youth Committee for the City of
Palm Desert. I was appointed to this position in 2006 and have continuously served on this
committee since that time culminating in my term as Chairman of the Committee. As I am
now graduating from Palm Desert High School I am no longer eligible for participation on this
committee. I will be attending Texas Christian University in Forth Worth, Texas in the fall.
I have found that my participation on this committee has helped me in many ways. Most
importantly, I have been able to further develop my leadership skills. Working together and
collaboratively on projects with our local youth, as well as members of the City of Palm Desert
staff and community members has given me a unique insight into what qualities a true leader
must possess.
I would like to personally thank Ms. Riddle and Amy Lawrence for their guidance during my
tenure as Chairman. And though she is no longer with the City, my deepest regards and
heartfelt thanks are extended to Pat Scully who mentored me in so many ways throughout my
previous four years on the committee.
Additionally, I would like to thank the Palm Desert City. Council for giving me the opportunity
to serve our community.
Yours very truly,
Bryce Griffith
Chair
City of Palm Desert Youth Committee

Dear Palm Desert City Council,
As my time as a Palm Desert City Council Youth Committee member comes to a close, I have
to thank you for supporting such a wonderful committee. I started as a member on this
committee as a freshman at Palm Desert High School. My favorite activities included the
Lincoln Holiday Parties and the special events nights with the seniors.
In the fall, I will be attending the University of Southern California and major in
Communications. I will be graduating 8`" in my class at Palm Desert High School. I must
respectfully resign from the committee due to my college plans in the fall. I know that the
committee will continue to do great things in Palm Desert, and in the Coachella Valley.
Thank you for your support,
Antonia Gutierrez
Palm Desert City Council Youth Committee Co-chair

Member: Christopher Benedetto
Time Served on Youth Committee (Alternate/Voting Member): Since October 2009
The Youth Committee of Palm Desert has shown me what it is to be an active
citizen within a community. This active participation goes hand -in -hand with the
opportunity of leadership that Youth Committee has allowed me to experience while
being an active member. Overall, I feel that, once leaving the Youth Committee of
Palm Desert, I will be able to participate in an effective community and plan events
for that community. I thank the City of Palm Desert for allowing me to hold the
position of both an alternate and voting member on the Youth Committee. I will
definitely miss the monthly meetings.
Sincerely,
/s
Christopher Benedetto
