HomeMy WebLinkAbout04 Friends, Our long awaited spring is here. We have been experiencing some warmer weather and that is always a welcome event. The renewal of life and things turning green makes life more hopeful. We need to allow that hopeful spirit to enliven us especially after the last year we have experienced. Soon the leaves will burst open and the flowers will bloom. My hope is that at the same time we will experience a bursting and blooming in our own lives. Make some plans to achieve good things in your lives and then go forward determined to make those good things happen. Nobody can stop us but ourselves. Even through the challenges of life, maybe especially through the challenges in life, it is important to be reaching for and achieving well thought-out and worked for goals. We at the city are planning to have our fun events this spring and summer; Baseball, Movies in the Park, Chubbuck Days and more. Let us gather and put our fun on. Make it a point to invite your friends, neighbors, and relatives to join you. It is always more fun with those we know and love. Some may not come and participate if we do not invite them, so we are inviting one and all to come and enjoy. In a special way we all need to make sure that the youth of our community know that we are there for them. Let’s make sure to make it a point to speak with them, welcome them, and see that they are well cared for. Given the opportunity they can be the life of the party. It is my sincere hope that this letter finds all is well with you and yours. If you are experiencing challenges, reach out to others for encouragement and help. We are blessed to live in a community where there are many willing to go the extra mile to see that all are taken care of. Keep smiling and know that you are loved and cared for.
