I am working on our committee appointments.  Please let me know if you can 
serve on any of our committees.

Keep in mind the following:

Subject: A Tribute to Someone Else

A TRIBUTE TO SOMEONE ELSE
We were saddened to learn recently of the death of one of our most valued 
acquaintances, Someone Else. Someone's passing created a vacancy that will 
indeed be difficult to fill.
Else was with us for many years and for every one of those years did far 
more than a normal person's share of work. Whenever leadership was needed,
this wonderful person was looked to bring results. "Someone Else can work 
with that group." we all said.
Whenever there was a job to do, one name was on every list -- Someone Else!
And it was common knowledge that Someone Else was generous toward volunteer 
organizations. If there was a financial need, everyone just assumed that
Someone Else would make up the difference.
Were the truth known, we all expected far too much of
Someone Else. Now Someone Else is gone! We wonder what we are going to do.
Someone Else left a model to follow, but we wonder---WHO is going to do all 
those things that Someone Else did?
