After one month...

I cannot believe it has been one month since I took the oath of office to serve on the County Board.  I would like to thank all of the County Staff and Board members for the nice, welcoming words, and the help they have given me already. Everyone is a true professional, and takes their work very seriously.  I am blessed to be a part of this team.

Since joining the Board, I have been very active in my various committee assignments and learning as much as I can about all of my new responsibilities.  Between committees and full Board meetings, I have done my best to make decisions that I feel are in the best interests of my constituents.

I am also happy to announce my good friend Andrew Rinehart and I have made a renewed commitment to (re)introduce ourselves to our constituents.  That is why we are starting up a series of "meet and greets" (as we did during the 2012 campaign).  We have asked our fellow District 3 Board members along with state and county-wide officials to join us for our first event in Mackinaw on Saturday, April 6, 2013, and we already have commitments from various officials.  The event will be at the Family Restaurant located at 100 Orchard from 9-11am.  All of these meet and greets will be informal - there will be no speeches - just breakfast, coffee, and a chance for you to talk about your issues and concerns (or give us a chance to introduce ourselves to you).

We hope to have these throughout the District in 2013 and 2014, so if you cannot make it to Mackinaw, we will do our best to stop near you.  Let us know of any great locations you feel we should visit.
