Letter: Search for Executive Director
Virginia Dozier
Board Secretary
St Francis House
Dear Editor:
Following last week’s news that Renee Morris had resigned from her position as Executive Director at St Francis House, the board of directors are announcing that the homeless shelter has appointed Judith Dembowski to the position of “Interim Director” while a search begins for a permanent replacement.
Executive Artistic Director, Stephanie Burkhardt, has invited Historic City News readers to experience the magic and excitement of the holidays when The Dance Company presents the St Augustine Winter Spectacular during its debut over Thanksgiving weekend.
Historic City News readers will note that at the last meeting of the St Augustine City Commission, on October 14, a presentation was given to the commissioners that summarized the accomplishments and needs of the Stormwater Utility. At Monday’s night’s meeting, a first reading of a new ordinance will be heard.
