Dear Friends,
With monsoon season in full swing, I hope everyone has stayed safe and avoided much of the damage we have seen throughout the valley. Mother nature has sure put on an impressive show this summer and while it is beautiful to watch, I encourage everyone to use caution and remember to avoid crossing flooded areas. For more information about the 2018 Monsoon season and best flood preparation practices click HERE and keep reading below.
As summer break winds down and school begins again, let's remember to drive carefully in neighborhoods and school zones. There is nothing more important than the safety of our kids.
Our community meetings begin again in September, with our County Coffee on September 6th, followed by our Community Meeting on September 18th. I will send final details as we get closer to the date. I look forward to seeing you there.
All my best,
Bill
