I congratulate the Jaguars and I was unable to attend as I was with a sick family member. During this holiday season, please try to remember someone who is less fortunate. There are a lot of people who are alone and cannot put food on the table. Buying something for them or dropping off a meal would be appreciated. It would lighten their life for a brief moment. I’m involved with adopt a family with my church and we fed over 800 families and we adopted over 200 families. Have a safe trip home.
COUNCIL VICE PRESIDENT CALOGERO – Great job to the Jaguars; its proof that hard work and dedication leads to success. This is our last meeting of the year and I wish everyone a happy holiday and new year. Drive home safely.
COUNCIL PRESIDENT NIXON – I hope everyone has a happy and healthy holiday season. This time of the year we get an opportunity to be good to each other. One kindness begets another kindness and let's hope it can carry into next year; we need a lot less acrimony. Be kind to each other and I appreciate everyone who participates to make this a better town. Thank you and have a good holiday.
