Box 1997 Kalispell, MT 59903 Re: Conrad Mansion Board of Directors Dear Mayor Fisher and Members of the Kalispell City Council: I am writing this letter to express my interest in serving on the Conrad Mansion Board of Directors. I have worked as an attorney in Kalispell, Montana for many years. My practice is focused on alternative conflict resolution and legal counseling. I have served on other local and state boards in the recent past. At present, I am the Nice President of the local Northwest Montana Bar Association (second term), but have no other board commitments. I was introduced to the Conrad Mansion in 1976 and became an immediate fan. Over the years, I have made the Mansion a part of my out-of-town guests' tour of the valley. I always enjoy sharing the experience of this wonderfully preserved historical site. I have been fortunate to enjoy Christmas at the Mansion as well as other special events held there. The Conrad Mansion is simply one of my favorite places and just driving by on any given day reminds me how connected 1 am to this community. Kalispell has been my home for more than 30 years except while a student at the University of Montana, serving with the U.S. Array Judge Advocate General's Corps, and warping as an Assistant Attorney with the Office of the Attorney General in Saipan. I always came home to Kalispell. I would greatly appreciate this opportunity to serve the City of Kalispell and our community as a volunteer member of the Conrad Mansion Board of Directors. I hope that you will give my interest your most favorable consideration. If I may answer any questions or you require further information, then please feel free to call me. Very tru yours, Vanessa M. Ceravolo, Esq. �,#,CONRAD MANSION MUSEUM March 10, 2010 Mayor Fisher City of Kalispell Po Box 1997 Kalispell, MT 59901 Dear Mayor Fisher: The Board of Directors of the Conrad Mansion Museum would lime to support the appointment of Vanessa Ceravolo to serve a four-year term.
