Dear Editor:
I would like for my friends and neighbors to be aware of articles that seem to be popping up everywhere, like the one I recently read online.
It is not unusual for the city clerk to be short of volunteers to serve on the various boards and committees appointed by the city commission; and, because they are unpaid positions, members sometimes leave before the expiration of the term and have to be replaced.
