RE: TOM ROGERS

To whom it may concern:

I have known Tom Rogers since I began my ministry here in 1992. Tom has participated in several initiatives and served on several committees at our church, some as Chairperson.

I have found Mr. Rogers to be personable, responsible and conscientious in all his undertakings, and accordingly have no hesitation in recommending him for any position requiring initiative and an intelligent, constructive approach. I have been impressed with Tom's sensitivity and caring in dealing with people, his deep sense of integrity and his strong commitment to a wide variety of service projects. His leadership skills and organizational abilities are considerable.

If you require further information, please do not hesitate to call.

Yours very sincerely,
The Rev. J.T.H.
Minister, Education and Development
