Mr. John S. Meserve, Mayor

Atlantic Beach, FL 32233
Dear Mayor Meserve,
I would like to offer my resignation from the Cultural Arts and Recreation Advisory
Committee. I have been in the process of completing my Ph.D. dissertation and have
entered the final stages of writing which, unfortunately, limits the amount of time I have
for volunteer work.
I am proud of the many accomplishments the committee has made in past years and I feel
honored that I was able, as a resident of Atlantic Beach, to make a contribution to those
goals. The programs supported by the city at Atlantic Beach Elementary have benefited
many children and adults as well. The support the city have given to the Artists Studio
~ Tour has not only helped to expose the many talented artists who reside in our wonderful
city, but has again helped to support arts programming at the elementary school.
~„ Thank you for the distinction of appointing me to this committee.
Sincerely,
`?~c..~
Margaret van de Guchte

Please provide a brief explanation of your interest or any special qualifications you have in this field and your reasons for
wishing to be appointed to this board/committee.
Surfing is a major sport in the Atlantic Beach area enjoyed by a large number of
the city's residents and visitors. My interest regarding the Cultural Arts and Recreation
Advisory Committee is to help reflect this popular lifestyle in the programs presented.
After all, most people come to the area to enjoy the beach. We should therefore have at
least one event per year that focuses on this valuable resource. Such an event could be a
surfing contest, art show, or combination of several activities over the period of a
weekend.
In addition to the above I would bring to the table my diverse background gained
~,,,,, from having lived and traveled around the world. I would also bring the management
skills I have acquired through running several clubs, an international law journal, and
small business.
