Looking Towards the New Year 2010

Dear Friends,
Well 2010 is here and with it there is much to tell you about that's happening throughout Ward 6 and citywide. I'm happy to let you know that at the inauguration ceremony on Monday night January 4th, I was elected Vice-President of the Board of Aldermen for 2010. I want to thank my colleagues for their support. I'm looking forward to the coming year!

In this newsletter you will find information mostly pertaining to events and happenings in the month of January. As more information and meetings get scheduled this winter I will likely send out another bulletin. As always, if you have information you'd like me to share with others through my e-newsletter, send me an email to Rebekah@rcn.com.

Best wishes in the New Year!
Rebekah
