Mayor's Message

“Whenever you are to do a thing, though it can never be known but to yourself, ask yourself how you would act were all the world looking at you, and act accordingly.” —Thomas Jefferson
 

“Your children are your rainbows and your grandchildren are your pot of gold.” - Unknown
 

“For in every adult there dwells the child that was, and in every child there lies the adult that will be.”
― John Connolly, The Book of Lost Things

Several days from now, we will be saying goodbye to the year 2022 and welcoming our new year, 2023. As we approach this transition it will be, in many respects, a result of how we view our lives and the world around us. Some will look at the future as a continuation of the past, while others will view it as a fresh new start; an opportunity to select a new path, “full of things that never were.”
 

Over the next several days, we will be drawn together by the bonds of family and friendships. Some of these individuals will only touch our lives briefly, while others will travel with us throughout our life journey. As you gather together this holiday season, give thought to those individuals who surround you and the impact they have on your happiness and your success.
