A THANKSGIVING<br />
MESSAGE FROM<br />
YOUR MAYOR<br />
It’s that time of year when we join<br />
family and friends, over some turkey<br />
and all the fixings, to give<br />
thanks and appreciate<br />
one another and all of<br />
life’s blessings. This year’s<br />
tradition is remindful of<br />
how thankful I am for<br />
many facets of my life,<br />
including the<br />
opportunity to serve as<br />
your Mayor of the best<br />
city in the country.<br />
I am also very thankful<br />
Ron Rakowsky<br />
that we have active and<br />

303-486-5741 <strong>Village</strong> who are involved<br />
in their community. The<br />
strength of our city comes from you,<br />
our residents. There is a tremendous<br />
sense of energy and enthusiasm in our<br />
<strong>Village</strong>. It’s deeply inspiring to see, and<br />
reaffirms our <strong>Village</strong> spirit that makes<br />
our community a special place to live.<br />

INTRODUCING CUB<br />
SCOUT TROOP 664<br />
The City Council and I welcomed<br />
Cub Scout Troop 664 as our special<br />
guests at the City Council Study<br />
Session on October 17. The young<br />
Cub Scouts, from Littleton Public<br />
Schools, conducted the honors of<br />
leading us in the Pledge of Allegiance<br />
to begin the meeting. Our recital while<br />
facing the flag is our ongoing pledge<br />
of our loyalty<br />
to this country<br />
as Americans.<br />
It was great to<br />
see these young<br />
Scouts at our<br />
meeting and be<br />
part of a<br />
worldwide<br />
youth<br />
movement that<br />
stands for<br />
certain values<br />
and beliefs, and<br />
helping others.<br />
Cub Scouting is more than something<br />
to do. It’s all about the boy they are,<br />
and the man they will become. There<br />
are many Cub Scout Troops that serve<br />
the <strong>Greenwood</strong> <strong>Village</strong> area; we value<br />
what they do and the spirit they have<br />
for community service.<br />
