She is eligible for reappointment to the <br />Social Services Board under G.S. 10$A-4 and G.S. 108A-6. <br />Ms. Garavaglia is a Carrboro resident and business owner, and has brought a different level of insight to <br />the Board. She and her business, Balloons and Tunes, have been the recipients of several awards for <br />services to the community, including winning the Pauli Murray Human Relations Award in 2006. She <br />has been active in this community for more than twenty years and currently chairs the volunteer group <br />Friends of DSS. She also helps manage the holiday program for youth in Orange County foster care that <br />brings in thousands of dollars in gifts for our foster children. <br />We believe that Ms. Garavaglia is a valuable asset to the Social Services Board. Please consider her for <br />reappointment. Thank you. <br />Sincerely, <br />i~i,,~ . <br />oe Robbins, Chair <br />Orange County Board of Social Services <br />300 West Tryon Street, P.O.
