Committee accepts resignations
The county committee struggled Saturday to have a quorum, but the arrival of Bim
Smith allowed the committee to begin the process of filling several vacancies.
Committee woman Marge Evans read a list of people who have resigned, including the
withdrawal of Wanda Richards as President.
The executive committee had earlier attempted to remove Richards from the
position.
Letters of resignation were also accepted from Gene Hicks, Rose Jarvis and Tony
Russell. Russell submitted his resignation earlier, stating he had increased work
commitments.
The next meeting is scheduled for August 25, when it is expected further
replacements will be placed on the committee.
Committee members attending: Patty Haught, Marge Evans, Randal Arnold, Bim Smith,
George Johnson and Burl Postalwait. Absent: Gary Knight, Faustine McCartney and
Freda Whytsell.
