Mayor's Message

The holiday season is a time when I find myself reflecting on past year’s celebrations, and those individuals who were key to the beautiful memories I have of holidays past. While to many this will seem nostalgic, it is in reminiscing that I gain a great appreciation for those who touched my life, and provided me with beautiful memories of Christmases past.

Last evening, I was looking for something to watch when I came across a segment featuring Jimmy Valvano, the late basketball coach and founder of the “Jimmy V Foundation.” The segment included a speech he gave after receiving the Arthur Ashe Award, and came two months before his life was taken by cancer. 

Today and every day I am thankful...

Last Friday on Veterans Day, I had the privilege of participating in two very different but beautiful tributes to our veterans.

Let us be honest, we all have days when we feel as if our problems will consume us and there is no solution to any of the issues we are experiencing.
