Larry Pinkney
& Von Sheppard
Minneapolis, MN

Dear Larry and Von:

It is with regret that we find it necessary to accept your resignation from our NAACP Back-to-School / Stay-in-School program.

The program is one that is very dear to the NAACP, and we had looked forward to your special contributions in helping to see that it become successful.

However, we accept your justification for being compelled to resign. We thank you for your contributions to the program thus far; and wish you the very best in the future.

Best Regards,

Sincerely,

Matthew Little,
President

Dorothy Woolfork,
Chairperson Back-to-School / Stay-in-School Program
