who dedicate themselves to improving the community for all who live there; and

member of the Oakland County Board of Social Services for the past 18 years

membership on the Metropolitan Area Planning Committee of United Community
Services, Oakland County Employment and Training Advisory Council,
Birmingham Junior League, Presidency of the Birmingham/Bloomfield League

NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the Oakland County Board of
Commissioners does hereby commend Anne Rumsey for her many years of
