My two sons tell me now that growing up in Havertown was 'awesome.' We have decided to age in place in the same house, as we have enjoyed watching the township develop in such good ways: the new recreation facility and the new YMCA, for example. The quality of life here keeps improving. Before retirement in 2007, I taught English as a Second language at Community College of Philadelphia for 20 years. Over that time, I met so many immigrants and learned so much about their adjustment to the cultural life here. I have also followed immigration issues closely. The formation of a Human Relations Commission seems very pertinent to me in these times. I would love to be part of the effort. Sincerely, .07 Suzanne B.

My term was breifley interupted by my current health conditions. was the only township resident along side of then exeutor of historic 805 beechwood road, to save it from the wrecking ball. Known to Beechwood resident as the Hoffman's haunted house, dating back to 1725-1757, part of the conestoga wagon trail, working within the constrates of the not yet finished work of Peg Johnston, and proved to the planning commision five conditions of what historical merit of this property was and is to the community of haverford township at large. We saved the home and many remaing ancient native pines, of the last original woodlands. Held largest holiday celebration that included for the first time anknolgegment ofHaunaka, to our ever changing neighborhood of beechwood. And that all faiths would be exknoledged for the first time at what was traditionaly called the christmas party. and it was the last public childrens reading of a holiday story by mrs Elisabeth Hoffman previously noted in this text as Hoffman's haunted house. Ran three victorian apartment building in wildwood nj from one bed room eficiesties to nine beedroom apartments. for fifteen seasons as general property manager, working with teenage youthes ages 16 to twenty, durring prime season. That on weekends would including part time tenats ould swell to about 250 young people. In most specificaly senior weeks I acted as a guindance counsuler/residence assistance for three specific senior weeks from the delaware vally area. First being public senior week, second being catholic week (the hardest of the three) and third priatly schooled seniors, that cause no problem to the city of wildwood by the sea. over these continuest seasons brother/sister would refer there graduating brothers and sisters to what would be come "Lues blues zoos" featured on sixty minuets. on an isue calling wildwood in rollin stone magazine calling wildwood as the final place that was close to Jack Carowouck. Where one could live on a bout a buck a day by learning the tricks and listening to the waves that rouge property managers like myself, was eventually refered to as brother Lue. And the refering brothers and sister would refer to ther kin just listen to lue and you will servived you three to four month experience in the wildwoods. But wass a proponent in the establishing of these cut up victorian building that have been rundown by the continues renting of youthes. Theese building had historical merit due to my sense of responsibility to history, in wildwoods history of much importance to cape may county. Which later within twelve years the resergents in this tired city led to the epic teardown and condominium construction period leaving this small hundle of historic buildings to be spared by the wrecking balls and rebirthed these historic victorian properties. Leaving a peice of the cityies original victorian age. I worked closley with haverfordtownships most respected public works director. Beechwood park located at the end of johnson rd. was spotless, kept like a golfcourse. In 1983 established a war memorial created a flag pole and moved the beechwood honor roll to the end ofjohnson rd. at the end of beechwood park.

As a concerned township resident I would be honored to servf.' in this capacity to help strengthen our community. Enclosed please find my resume. I currently serve as an executive administrative assistant at the Pennsylvania Turnpike. In my position I have benefited from numerous training programs developing the skills necessary to detect, prevent, and eradicate discrimination. One of the most important mandates of government is to maintain an even playing field for all whom live, work, and play under their jurisdiction. I would be honored to help our municipality achieve that goal. My experience includes service on the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) committee for my organization. This committee reviews the legal requirements for our organization with respect to the ADA and makes recommendations for accommodations to comply with the law. The primary purpose of ADA law was to eliminate discrimination based on handicap or disability, to remove the barriers that prevented these citizens from fully participating in our society. The connnittee also reviewed all reasonable accommodation ~eque>ts for our agency. This experience prepares me well tor service on the Human Relations Connn!ssion. I am certain that the skills I have gained in my employment, education, and community service experience will prove to be an asset to the Haverford Township Human Relations Commission.

December I, 2011 DEC - I Lawrence J. Gentile, Township Manager 2325 Darby Road Havertown, PA 19083 Dear Sir: I write to submit my name in application for one of the seven seats on the Haverford Township Human Relations Commission. I am happy to provide a copy of my resume upon request. I have been a resident of Havertown, PA., Haverford Township, since 1987. I offer my services to the Haverford Board of Commissionerssupport of their continued efforts toward non-discriminatory procedures and policies that promote equity within our township. On June I, 2011, I retired from Bryn Mawr College after thirty-seven years of service. For nearly half of my professional career, I was the Associate Chief Information Officer of the College. When the College merged six departments in the late 1990's (the library system, Academic Computing, Administrative Computing, Special Collections, AV, and Telephone Services), I became the manager of a department of approximately seventy-three employees - second only to Dining Services. When I retired, Information Services (IS) was a staff of sixty-four employees. My primary responsibilities included playing a major role in policy and administrative decisions, primary responsibility forhiring and separation decisions, departmental budget responsibilities (a task shared with a budget committee of three), and coordinator of the IS Senior Administrative Staff. In 1996, I was appointed the EqWll Opportunity Officer (EOO) of the College by then President Nancy J. Vickers, and held that position simultaneously with my Associate CIO position for seven years. The EOO was part of a six member( now eight) Diversity Leadership Group reporting directly to the President ofthe College and charged with "[providing] strategic advice to the President on how to encourage a supportive climate for diversity ... ". From its inception in !998, I was a founding member of the Social Justice Partnership Program, an innovative program run primarily by students with the support offaculty, staff and administrators to create safe spaces for discussioningissues related to diversity and to forge partnerships within and beyond the College to broaden perceptions and to build a greater capacity for inclusiveness. During the course of my career at Bryn Mawr College, I served on several College wide committees and task forces, including search committees for the current President of the College and the Dean of the Undergraduate College. I have a long and successful history of working with diverse populations dealing with a myriad of issues related to discrimination and inclusiveness. Non-discrimination and issues of equity rank high on my personal and professional list of priorities. The skills gained as the College's EOO officer, Associate CIO, and other leadership positions, including but not limited to conflict resolution and adherence to grievance procedures, are highly transferable, and position me well to make a positive contribution to the Township's Human Relations Commission. I wish you and the Commission the very best in your effort to seat the Township's frrst Human Relations Commission. If at any time during your deliberations, I can provide additional information about my credentials or my willingness to serve, you may contact me by phone or email at your convenience. I look forward to hearing from you concerning the progress of the HR.C. Yours, Florence D, Goff Florence D. Goff [email protected] Home: 610-446-3624 Cell: 610-613-4757 r----.

I began my academic career as the curator of rare books at the Library Company of Philadelphia (Be!]jarnin Franklin's circulating library, founded in 1731), but later turned from archival-work to higher education-at Haverford College, where I taught inter-disciplinary courses in the arts (designed to improve students' expository writing, public speaking, and research methods), managed the library, and coached the N baseball team. During this period, I also tutored local high-school students in memory techniques, taught adult-education classes in art appreciation, and co-authored The Published Writings of William Penn. After pansing for doctoral study on visual memory at Columbia, I returned to archival-work at the Historical Society of Pennsylvania, where I secured and administered funds for a state-wide program to locate, catalog, and rnicrofihu deteriomted Pennsylvania newspapers. From there, I levemged my doctoml research by accepting a Visiting Professorship at the University of North Carolina, where I tanght graduate seminars on "mental information-processing" for the School of Information Science. In 1988, I entered the business arena as a "human factors specialisf'-with Telebase Systems, world leader in providing public access to professional databases. During my tenure at Telebase, I designed menu-based online information products for such early online networks as CompuServe, InfoMaster (AT&T), and Nifty {the premier online service on the Pacific Rim). When the Internet became commercially available in 1992, I founded The Center for Current Research, an entirely Internet-based information company, which compiled online folders of research findings on key medical conditions for patients and their families. Still seduced by entrepreneurship, early in 1998, I founded Skylight Web Agency, a wholesale website development firm, specializing in websites for members of professional organizations. Following the "dotcom" melt-down in 2002, I returned to the mre book industry, as a researcher for Bauman Rare Books, an internationally renowned dealer based in Philadelphia, New York and Las Vegas. I am now recently retired and have begun to paint. Armed with my ancient Masters degree in Art History (Romanticism) and Doctorate in Information Science (visual memory), I intend to offer an art course for disabled persons, in which computers are employed to produce "digital tracings" from photographs-ready to be made into works of art. In addition, I am looking to serve the community in other ways, and hope that my experiences in Philadelphia cultural institutions might be useful in solving the problems faced by either the Historical Commission or the Library Board. 3645 Darby Road BrynMawr,Pa 19010 December 2, 2012 Lawrence Gentile, Township Manager 2325 Darby Road Havertown, PA Dear Mr. Gentile, I am interested in the position ofLibrary Board volunteer. I have been actively w using libraries for my own research and as an advisor to students for most of my working life. As a parent of four children and three grandchildren I have also been intimately involved in encouraging reading and using public libraries with children . I have been a high school public school teacher and college professor and have supervised research projects, and as a volunteer for the Literacy Council of Delaware county. I believe I understand the important uses libraries uniquely fulfill and their potential as community centers and valuable gathering places for organizations. My father was a librarian, my sister is a librarian, and in elementary school the local librarian told my mother I was the best reader the Elmwood Library ever had (Syracuse, NY.) I think my interest in reading and libraries as a special place began early and is still important to me. Currently I do research at the Library Company of Philadelphia, Historical Society of Pennsylvania, the American Philosophical Society and the Morgan Library in New York City. I'm also very active in a library Reading group. I teach part-time at Villanova University in the English Department. As you may gather, libraries have played an important role in my life, and I would be more than happy to be involved to serve their future in the Haverford community I live in. I see the Haverford community developing in important new ways that serve the needs of its citizens, and I would be proud to be part of that movement. Very truly yours, Nancy E.
