Mayor’s Message

Service To others Rewards Everyone Involved

Do you ever find that life sometimes becomes full of distractions? Do we lose sight of the great quests and adventures we can experience in this life? I believe there is something inherent in all of us that seeks a higher and nobler purpose. Our rewards in life are always in direct correlation to the level of service that we give. As we lose ourselves in the service of others, we discover our own lives and our own happiness.

We all can find more time to reach out to comfort a friend, family member, neighbor or even a complete stranger. Through your efforts to help the poor and needy, and to reach out to those in distress; you will find YOU are really the beneficiary of that kindness.  As the old TV commercial use to say; “Try it You’ll Like It.”.

Let us all be grateful for what we have, where we live, and the freedoms we enjoy.

“For it is gratitude that unlocks the fullness of life.  It turns what we have into enough, and more. It turns denial into acceptance, chaos to order, confusion to clarity.  It can turn a meal into a feast, a house into a home, a stranger into a friend.” -Melody Beattie

You were never designed for failure............

Make that difference!
