Dear Neighbor,

Happy Memorial Day

In between the cookouts and fireworks, please take the time to remember our fallen heroes who made the ultimate sacrifice for us—so we can enjoy the freedom we have today.

Please note my office will close in observance of Memorial Day at noon on Friday, May 23 and will reopen on Tuesday morning, May 27.
