Want to Help With City Club?
July 18, 2010
Dear Friends,
As some of you know, I recently had to have open heart surgery. I am now in the recovery phase, and one part of every major event like this is the reassess your life. This is especially necessary for me as I have been told I have an aggressive form of heart disease.
One activity of my life that I have decided to discontinue is my leadership of the City Club. I truly believe that the City Club has been and can continue to positively benefit Martinsburg's historic downtown, but I will need to be at most a participant.
With that said, and here with several months before the usual fall return of the City Club monthly luncheons, I want to open up the idea of another party taking over the City Club. I would be happy to give advice. My stepping down is absolute, however, for reasons mentioned above. If you or someone you know is interested in taking over the leadership and operation of the City Club, please let me know so that City Club may continue after the summer break.
Finally, the City Club has from the beginning been a product of several wonderful partners including my wife, Susan, (who has recently opened the Washington Street Gallery and Gift in Charles Town), Steve Gyurisin of Advanced Planning Associates, and Robert Glenn of Jackson and Kelly. I want to thank them for their help, commitment and counsel.
Sincerely,
Paul
