Additionally he leads <br />one of the top restaurants in our county, Il Palio. <br />Anthony's role in the community has involved more than twenty years with local lodging <br />associations; board membership with the Chapel Hill/Carrboro Chamber of Commerce <br />and work with northern Orange County soccer facilities. <br />He continues to give us his time and resources to benefit Orange County. <br />Anthony resides in Alamance County and we need to be clear to the BOCC that there is <br />no general manager or leader in the local hospitality industry who resides in Orange <br />County and wants to serve on this board. <br />I hope, like Jim Parker, they will allow his work contributions to serve as a statement <br />about his dedication and contributions to the county in which he works and spends a large <br />part of his time. <br />Thank you. I hope we can get a board vote on this at the October 21St regular meeting <br />and please let me know what I can do to move this forward at this point. <br />Creston <br />OU~N F:D Bl' THh UNIA'L'RSITS OP VOKThI CnROLINA :AT CHAPEL HILL <br />211 Pittsboro Street, Chapel Hill, NC 27516 Telephone 919. 933. 2001 FAX 919. 962. 3400 ~e~~~~~-.carolinainn.co~n <br />5 <br />A distinctive experience provided by Destination Hotels & Resorts ~n~~n w.destinationhotels.com <br />
