Mayor’s Message

Don’t Forget Life’s Lessons

I am always amazed at the service that continues to go on in our outstanding city, by our wonderful citizens. We truly live in a great place don’t we?  Reminds me of something I read about some of Life’s Lessons  we learn during our journey here on earth.  Some of them are: Say please and thank you. Know what you don’t know. Ask great questions. Take great notes. Never stop learning. Do the work. Be humble. Read more. No job is too big or too small.  Be kind and respectful. Seek wisdom from those who came before you. Your word is everything. Do not judge others. Serve others.

Having the courage to go after what you want, change the direction of your life, and battle obstacles, doesn’t mean there won’t be setbacks and loss.  It means that you are brave enough to work and fight until you beat those things. It’s not easy, but then, nothing worth having ever is!

During your incredible journey called life just remember to treat others exactly how you want to be treated..................Be the difference
