Hi Rema Lou,
I’m still trying to sort out information received while I was in Houston. I still feel confused (smile).
I have just completed my vita and it goes to the typist tomorrow. Kay will receive it soon.
Send your letter to Ron Jackson Executive Director of the Texas Youth Commission, 8900 Shoal Creek, Austin, TX 78766. Include in your letter how important it is that I participate on the program as a representative of TYC. If you recall any of my presentation in Amarillo, point out what a good job I did, and how important it is to evaluate and consider this minority point of view.
You will never realize how being on your board has affected my self image. I will do all that I can to produce the best that I have for AAUW in the next two years.
Sincerely,
Loretta
P.S. If you see that other information should be included in the letter to Ron, feel free to do so.
Send me printed information about the Longview meeting so I can present to my supervisor.
