01/2016 Mayor's Corner January 2016
Happy New Year! I hope your holidays were filled with joy and glad tidings; sharing time,
food and memories with family and friends.
It is hard to believe I have been in office for three years now. Time goes by so quickly
nowadays. Being able to get out in the community and meet as many of Tigard's more than
50,000 city residents as I can is my overwhelming joy, although I must confess the youth
activities are my favorites by far.
I want to thank each and every one of you who volunteer for our city. Whether you serve as
a police cadet, library worker, on a commission or committee, or just picking up trash on
the trails, you all help make Tigard a place to call home.
Thanks to a generous donation from Comcast, I hope you will be able to join me for the
"State of the City" on Feb. 4, from 6:30 to 8:30 p.m., at Indio Spirits (7272 SW Durham
Road #100, Tigard, OR 97224). I will show a video we created that shares city highlights
from 2015 and the goals for 2016.

Write a good one."
