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 />

rrakowsky@<br />

greenwoodvillage.com caring citizens in our<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 />

As a reminder, City Hall will be closed<br />

in observance of the Thanksgiving<br />

holiday on Thursday, <strong>November</strong> 24<br />

and Friday, <strong>November</strong> 25. Regular<br />

business hours will resume Monday,<br />

Thankful to live in <strong>Greenwood</strong><br />

<strong>Village</strong>. I wish you and your family a<br />

safe and happy Thanksgiving!<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 />
