Resignation
October 5, 2019
Arless McNeill
Director, District 69 Darts Association
To the Executive and Membership of the District 69 Darts Association,
Please accept this letter as notice that I am resigning from my position as Director of the District 69 Darts Association effective October 6, 2019.
Regretfully, I can no longer continue to serve in the capacity as an elected Director, or as a representative of the membership. This is a personal decision, made after a great deal of thought. To continue to serve on the board would be a disservice to the current executive, the membership, and the goals of the association.
I would like to thank the membership and executive for their support over the last 16 months, and look forward to playing darts through the remainder of the season.
Sincerely.
Arless McNeill
