Board of Trustees
Village of Buffalo Grove
Buffalo Grove, Illinois
Subject: Resignation
Gentlemen:
It is with deep regret that at this time I find it an absolute
necessity to resign as President of the Village of Buffalo Grove.
With more extensive travel and additional evening work required
on my job, I am no longer able to devote the time and effort
necessary to perform the job of President as it should be done.
I am glad to have had the opportunity to serve our Village for
3 years and to have worked with the many fine people involved in
the various activities of village government. I am hopeful the
accomplishments of this administration will be a continuing source
of pride to all of us.
I am also glad that I can leave this position with the certainty
that the Board will appoint a very capable replacement and that
the powers of the government will remain in the hands of the
villagers.
Very truly yours,
e11
Alo ius P. Bunescu
March 1, 1962
TO: VILLAGE PRESIDENT AND BOARD OF TRUSTEES
Effective this date I hereby tender by
resignation as trustee of the Village of Buffalo
Grove in order to correctly assume village duties
in another capacity .
