Just Another Manic Monday? Not Here!

Every Monday morning, the city council, department heads and representatives from their departments all gather at City Hall for the National Anthem, Flag Raising, and a report from each department. This is the beginning of the work week.


Picture above with the town council are members of Central 911 (Pictured in white shirts, left lower corner).

What a great way to start the week with everyone coming together. Imagine something like this happening in other countries and the impact it could have.

Starting the week together.
