Thanks to everyone who participated in the National Day of Service last weekend. A lot of elbow grease was put into removing a lot of brush and weeks from McMurphy Park and the facility looks a lot better. If you missed out this year, officials hope volunteers can be available next September for similar projects.

Don't forget the regular City Council meetings are now taking place at 6 p.m. rather than 6:30 p.m. the second and fourth Tuesdays of each month. This change was made by the council in August as a means to better accommodate the schedules of officials attending the meeting.
