Monroe County Commissioners/TDC:
I respectfully request that Warren Leamard be appointed to the At Large TDC
position. I have personally and professionally know Warren for the past twelve
years. During that time he was an active member of the Big Coppitt Volunteer
Fire Depart serving as a Board of Director for five years. With the Fire
Department he was very active in responding to fires, medical calls and vehicle
accidents. He has donated his time, effort and energy to help local residents as
well as tourist in their time of need. He has taken the lead in fund drives for the
Fire Department with excellent results.
Warren's dedication, loyalty, honesty, personality and can do attitude is why I
recommend Warren Leamard for the At Large TDC position. If you have any
questions concerning this recommendation, please call me at 294-3251.
Sincerely,

Dear Warren,
It is my pleasure to recommend your appointment to the vacant Tourist
Development Council at-large DAC 1 position.
Your long history of local business ownership and concern for our tourism-based
economy make you uniquely qualified for that position.
Additionally, during my tenure on the board of the IDC, I have been particularly
concerned that our marketing efforts reflect our culturally diverse community. I believe
that your appointment to DAC 1 would go a long way toward accomplishing that goal.
Once again, I am pleased to recommend you for the DAC position. If you have
any questions, please contact me at 292-4634.
