The start of a new year signals a new
beginning, and this is as true as ever in the City of Montrose. As
your newly-elected mayor, I want you to know how excited I am about
the future of our town. Considering the dire news about the state
budget and knowing that it will affect us, this may seem like a strange
thing to say, but challenges are opportunities that can bring out
the best in all of us. We can get through anything if we all work
together.
“Auld Lang Syne”, as so many of us sang such a short
time ago, is an old Scottish phrase meaning “times gone by”.
For you to embrace this new beginning there may be things that you
need to let go of with the time that has gone by, fences that need
mending or grudges that need to be released. We are moving forward
and would love to have you join us; only you can hold yourself back.
To celebrate this fresh start, please consider joining one of our
many volunteer committees. Whether you are gifted in high finance,
child care or any other discipline we would love to work with you!
You can find the Commission
Application here. This would also be
an excellent opportunity to help us go green by signing-up for an
electronic version of the newsletter. Just click “Join the
Email List” on the homepage and follow the instructions.
Thank you all for this opportunity to serve you and work along side
of you!
Andy
