Subject: Resignation
Dear Linda and Fellow Senior Center Commission Members:
To begin, I wantto apologize to Linda for the emails that have gone back and forth without
direct contact.
It was brought to my attention that it is a conflict for me to serve on the Board because Faithful
Companions Pet Cremation, of which I am co owner, has an agreement to provide cremation
services to the Iowa City Animal Shelter. This agreement, which only began this past year, is very
welcomed by our business. We are the only pet cremation provider in Johnson County. In the
past a provider from outside the County was used.
I therefore regretfully resign my position effective today, but hope to continue my involvement
with Friends of the Center. The Senior Center is blessed to have an amazing talented staff that
have the concerns of all seniors in Johnson County.
Sincerely,
Michael Lensing
