I thoroughly enjoyed the entire ceremony. Especially enjoyed the singing of Martha Green and Kevin’s address. We also need to keep improving our City parks and focus on improving GRANDVIEW Golf Course and Resturant and make an effort to regain the number of tournaments that left because of issues with the former management of the restaurant.
Mr. Mayor,
It was a wonderful day and a much needed positive boost! Thank you so much for allowing me to be a part of the day and thank you for posting this–at no additional cost to taxpayers,of course,,:)
Due to the weather and the holiday, some people that couldn’t be there in person can now hear the ceremony.
Good luck to you,the newly elected and the re-elected City of Anderson,IN officials. May only good things happen from all the combined efforts.
Congratulations to all,
Sharlet
I too enjoyed the entire ceremony. The Choir and Martha Green were awesome. Mayor Smith’s address was inspiring and hopeful. What good news about assets and opportunities for Anderson. Everything the Mayor said about the community, the arts, and parks lead to economic development for the city. Thank you Mayor Smith for your vision and commitment to Anderson.
