Dear .Ir. Adams:
Please be advised that -the Little River Commerce Association has
been ciuite proud of the. ;cork performed by its appointee, Lauraine
Dunn, sitting as a member of the Community Development Committee
for our area. The untold hours and effort which this involves..*
carriers with it, I'm sure, the satisfaction of knowing that she .
is wor::ing for her fellow man, but o:1 the other hand, recognition
is a pretty well kept secret. To give credit ,for a job well done,
I would propose that the Lithe HUD Building that is now being
constructed for the elderly in our Little River Target Area, be' .
named "LAURAINE DUN N APART:'.EtiTS" .
To single out Lauraine Dunn and to give to her such recognition,
in :ny mind, would be, a worthy accomplishment for .that I think it
would encourage other people to do some of this necessary volun=
tary work. In total, it would spell itself out as being good for
the community. I have been completely impressed with the desire
on the part of all governmental agencies to work with the private
citizen. That can 'only be accomplished through organizations such
as the Community Development Committee. It is at that level that
the private citizen touches government and together the desired
end results are realized.
I would hope that appropriate consideration will be given to the
cuc •. _? cn herein ?ue and if it J.:; con!.lidere d reasonable and pro-
per, that when the dedication of the building does core about:,
