A TIME OF GRATITUDE
As we approach the Thanksgiving Holiday, there is so much to be grateful for… our health, our wellbeing, and the recent snow that has covered our mountains.
Please join me in thanking those who contribute so much to our safety and well-being and support our communities, including our: veterans and current service members; first responders in fire and law enforcement; health care professionals, hospitals, clinics, and health department; our educators and other public servants; the many incredible non-profits; small businesses; and our family, friends, and neighbors.
In service,
Supervisor Cindy Gustafson
