03/2016 Mayor's Corner March 2016
It is time for the annual "If I were Mayor, I would ..." student contest. The contest is open to
students in grades 4 to 12. Prizes at the city and state level are being awarded in three
different categories.
One of the City Council's goals is to expand opportunities to engage people in the
community. I would like to thank the citizens of Summerfield who came out to our Council
Outreach session at the clubhouse on Jan. 28. More than 120 people attended. Your
accolades and questions were much appreciated, and I hope you came away with a greater
understanding of the workings of our city.
Thank you to the nearly 200 citizens that came out to hear my State of the City Address on
Feb. 4 If you were unable to attend and would like to see a video of it, you can find it on
the city's YouTube page.
After taking February off for the State of the City, please join me for my next "Fireside Chat
with the Mayor" on Thursday, March 3, from 6:30 to 8:30 p.m., at Symposium Coffee
on Main Street.
My March quote of the month is by Henry David Thoreau, "The price of anything is the
amount of life you exchange for it."
