Wow! It’s hard to believe this will be my last activity guide message. Leaving office is so bittersweet. On the one hand, it will be so difficult to step away from my dream position; a joy that I have looked forward

to going to every day. It will be difficult to leave the amazing people I work with on a daily basis. Meridian is my home, and I have worked hard to ensure that it’s a great place to live - from the parks and pathways to the events and amenities. On the other hand, I’m excited to have time to simply enjoy this beautiful city with my friends and family.

My service at the City started twenty-five years ago when I saw a need for more parks. I was a charter member of the Parks and Recreation Commission, with a mission to get more City Parks and open spaces for families to be able to enjoy the great outdoors without having to drive to a neighboring community. I carried that mission with me from the Parks and Recreation Commission to my time on City Council and in my

sixteen years as your mayor. Sometimes it is hard to believe that in twenty-five years we have gone from a single park to over 400 acres of parks that include everything from ball fields and picnic areas to ponds and playgrounds.

If I were to choose a favorite, I would say...all of them! I love the big trees and history of Storey Park, the numerous stories of dreams, generosity and involvement behind Settlers Park, and the unbelievable and once-in-a-lifetime $25 million dollar gift of Gene Kleiner to honor his dad! Our parks define our community and bring huge benefits to the city in numerous ways!

I hope you too can take some time to enjoy one - or all of our beautiful parks or participate in some of the City’s awesome activities - and if you see me strolling around, be sure to wave!
