Dear President and Trustees:
On behalf of the Board of Directors of the Friends of the Oak Brook Public Library and its
membership, thank you for your unanimous approval of the resolution to name the road
curving around the Library entrance, "Joe Fullan Court."
At last night's Board meeting, Directors expressed feelings that this naming would
become a permanent testimonial and reminder of Joe's many years working to enhance the
Library through the Friends, formerly the Library Association, and also the Library
Commission.
Your action is very much appreciated.
Sincerely,
/2 ei°11--
