Ward 5 Meeting Sept 13, 7 pm, to elect a new chair

Dear Ward 5 Members,

As most of you already know, Liz Cody is resigning as Ward 5 Chairman, effective this weekend.Liz started law
school a few weeks back, and she simply does not have time to effectively lead our efforts in the Ward.

A special meeting of the Ward 5 Committee will be held to elect a new Chairman this coming Sunday, September 13th.  The meeting will be at my house and will start at 7 PM.  Refreshments will be served, complements of my sister Joanne.  (Directions to my home are listed below)

There's so much I want to say about Liz and how much we are going to miss her wisdom, guiding hand, friendship, and sense of humor.  I'm pleased that Liz is pursuing a new challenge, but the departure of this good friend is also a very sad occasion for me and for so many other people inside and outside the Ward who have had so much enjoyment with Liz over the years.  Liz makes politics fun and lively as well as intellectually stimulating and meaningful.

One of the things Joanne and I have been proudest of was going to New York City on a very cold Saturday in February, 2003 to join 400,000 other Americans protesting the planned invasion of Iraq that took place a few weeks later.   It was Liz who cajoled and persuaded us to go and for that alone, we are grateful to this remarkable woman.

Thanks to Liz, Ward 5 has always been ahead of the curve, and a real incubator for many innovative political ideas and strategies.   Best wishes, Liz, and God Speed.

                                                               Sincerely,

                                                               Bob Burke
