Ms. Mensch has stepped into the CEO position of our local United Way and enhanced its community participation, especially in disasters. She was instrumental in allowing the United Way to hold a seat in Citizen Corps and has been a great supporter of the local COAD, Disaster Ready Collier County. The United Way also will be managing our Volunteer Reception Center which manages volunteers in disaster, which Ms. Mensch has been a great supporter of. Because of Citizen Corp, and the participation from the United Way, many connections and networking opportunities have been made, including participation with CCSO and their 9/11 Day of Service. Because of this, I am requesting your consideration and approval of Ms. Mensch’s appointment with the Collier County Citizen Corps Advisory Committee. Sincerely, Josh Starrett Collier County Emergency Management Coordinator Collier County Citizen Corps Advisory Committee Liaison Page 7071 of 9661          ¾įŧ+İ lŧ     + /2ŧ:ıeŧ    ,%[FŧIFŧ    ¼Slŧ·!A=ŧ     J ľŧ+IJĒf6ŧ ¸Ė!ŧIŧ ­ij2Tŧ¯Ą[ŧ JŖ!Z?6ŧ:!ŧ +Ĵ0!ŧ: eŧ ,ą%6Fŧ,ŧ P00ŧLŞŧ ´Ħŧ¿ŧ KĢfŧ Àþ ŧ ¡ś<Ć/ŗŧ µ?ŧÉœćēŧ <Aŧ<6 ŧ Æ2T? /ŧ PA=ĵ 2ŧ ,ĶŧÕ/= Ĉ0Zŧ     Í!÷ĉŧ¹Sāŧ »D1ŧ—'ŧ))šŧ Ìŧ$\ŧ;hŧ.kŧ łžŧ ³ ŧŧmŧ Ûŧŧ ĝŧ Î Xõģŧº \uŧ Áķ "ŧŧ9OŧWŧ ŧ ÏŇáŧ$ŧìŧ ]ŧâŧg ŧ-ŧqÐŧ$¤-svŧúŧ  Ċŧŧ" ŧ¥ ŧ Ĥŏŧ3C3Ťŧ5ŧ¢E^Gŧ ěŽŧ Ê  ŧđŧÑ$-ŧŧ))˜'ŧ.…ŧ . ŧ ŧã4" ŧŜ   ŧ  ŧŧ   ŧ  gkŧĸ  wŧ ŧU axŧŧ  5ŧ   ŧQ ŧ  ŧŧ#ŧ ]†ŧÒŧ 1ŧ Ĺ yŧ Ó$-ŧ ŧ ŧŧ@ŧdCŧ ŧ ŧŐnŧ 9 nŧ # zŧ ŧ  ŧ ŧ ŧ %D{ŧ  ŧŧ Ô ŧÇ  ŧ  ŧňŧ ʼnŧ ‚ŧ  |ŧŧ bj ŧŧŧċ_ŧñĪĺ ŧ> ŧ ŧ «ÜŧÈGŧ  `ŧ hţŧ O*¬‡ŧ #ˆŧ# oŧ  ŧŊŧäŧŧ Ŕŧ 4ŧŋ ŧ ŝ   ŧ& ŧŧ7Ř5Bŧ   ŧŧĮ7  >ŧ ŧ ŧÝŧ ûŧ ŧ  'ŧĿŎÞėGŧ*M;®ŧr£"ƒMČ}ŧ; „ × ~ŧ 9 tŧ   Ÿŧ ŧ&@ ŧ ŧ ŧ ÿ 3ŧ ŧĞ@ŧŧ(ŧ ±ŧ Ļ ŧŧ  ŧ%5ŧ ĥŧ ŧV ŧ ŧ ù  ŧ  ŃŧWő8ŧ ŕ ŧ ğĠ ŧŧ  Hŧ ŧŧ   ŧ4ŧY 'ŧå4"ŧæB Hŧaŧýb‰ŧ N(ŧ# ŧ ŧRŧ cŒŧ Eŧ& ŧD ŧŧ ŧ3 `ťŧŧ*ŧ ¦ ŧ& Uŧŧj Ø ŧ ŧŧ ŧĔř ŧíŧ 7 ŧ8ŧŧŧVŧ cŧXŧ  Q Šŧ²ŧŧ Y ŧ" ÙŌŧ N‹ŧ.ç ŧ&č ŧŧŧòó CEŧŧĀŧ1ŧħîŧ ŧ§_ĎŦëŧ¨Ĩļīńŧ * mŧ ĘŧŧŚ ŧ ŧ ŧiŁ> Ăŧ ŧ7%pŧ 8ŧ1€ŧBŧ dŢŧøi(ŧ Âŧïè ŧôŧ ŧ   ŧŧðŧR ŧ^üġ ŧŧ(ŧ 4|V입Ü݆¹§ěºně5¨‡íWJě 6Ēě»oě,¼ ›XÑěŸÛ™ěîYě+ēÞěˆßěÿÊěÒZ콩KěËě@¾ ¡āª ï'ě ‰àáĂ[âě>Ĕěă«Šð‹¬věÌ\¿Í–]ě ¢Lě ė^ãÀĄAëěñÁěH_7—*ěp䌭wěB}8®x3ě qÂÓě9ě?¯y„þ`ÔěrąòĆ Āě 2ćÕě荰ě %ě ó~/ôě$ě±MŽĎ NĈ:˜åě(£Oěs&¤œæěšĘ²zě¥P đÃ֕‘³{ě0!ě-Ä’u×ě.Åĉ´õĕě;µQěöaět"#€ě 1bĖě<ďcě=CDdçèě ÷Æěø‚eě fęÇĊØEgéě¶RěÈÎÏÉÙùċ·“úhêě ûƒi)ě¸jkSěü ĚČFGIlTě¦UěýڔĐmě ©ß“éĽŧ1GHL:>ef ªę›ŧ4ZU_R8f5[?)f,S`V]f6aI\@f –‘™ŧNf ½ĬĚàœŒŧöĜŧ $f-f%f "f 0AdYf 2EFJ;B(f !f KĩŅêĭăďŀĐÅŧ39WMCXfÖÚşŧ Ë”ōÃŧf .f ¶ÄŠŧ7<*^f °LŧQf /f# '+&f bc=TOPKD fĕ šņ’•ŧÐě Page 7072 of 9661  !"
