December Mayor’s Corner
Happy December!
If you’re like me, you have been wondering “where did this year go”? It seems like it was July 4th and now it’s Christmas and the New Year is upon us. December is a busy month, but I try to take the time to reflect on the year and especially to be thankful for all the blessings I have.
I would like to thank the residents for entrusting me to lead this great city. It has been an honor and privilege serving you. I’ve met many incredible people this year and I hope that I have lived up to your expectations. I want to thank all of the individuals, committees, boards, city departments and especially my fellow City Council members, that did the work for the City of Eaton Rapids. Keeping your focus and commitment on making Eaton Rapids the best place to live is not always an easy task but we find ways to make it happen because we know how important it is. Thank You!
A tradition of mine during this season is to watch a few of my favorite Christmas movies; It’s a Wonderful Life and A Christmas Carol. Those movies remind me of not just the Christmas spirit, but the human spirit. What is important is giving, not of presents purchased at a store, but giving of ourselves, our time, our resources, our talents, our kindness, and our thoughtfulness. So often people get lost in the commercial aspect of the holidays. We all have so much more to give that doesn’t cost money. Our community is rich in so many ways because of the caring people that live and work here. Let’s remember that giving spirt all year long!
Next month, I will recap all of the positive work that happened this year and what lies ahead in our annual State of the City address. We’ve all worked very hard for you, but we have a lot more to do that we are excited to share.
As always, if you have any questions, comments, ideas or would like more information about serving our city, please reach out to me at pcolestock@cityofeatonrapids.com or call me at 517- 410-9472.
Merry Christmas & Happy New Year!
Mayor Pam Colestock
