Subject: FW: OCAC Board Member Resignation
Hi Donna & Jeanette,
The Orange County Arts Commission met last night and would like to suggest the name of volunteer applicant Devra
Thomas to the BOCC, to fill out the remaining term of Joe Marro, who is moving out -of- state..
I contacted her this morning and she is available and excited to serve.
Please let me know when this request can be put on a BOCC agenda, hopefully as soon as possible.
Let me know if you need anything else from me.
Thanks so much.
Martha

OCAC Executive Committee,
Joe Marro came by my office this morning. He told me he needs to resign from the OCAC board because he has decided
to move back to Pennsylvania. He put his house up for sale this week.
Just wanted you to know.
