Farewell from our Town Board Secretary

Tuesday, 12 January 2010 23:50 Elena Jacob

Hello members of the Mount Charleston Community,
I’m sure many of you who frequent Town Advisory Board meetings have heard, by now, that I will no longer be the secretary of the board.

Those who I’ve spoken with have all inquired as to why I am leaving the position, and I thought it would be nice to give everyone a bit of information regarding my resignation.
