City Council candidate hopes for unity, progress
Thanks to all voters in District 1 and to citizens of Greensboro who have been so supportive during my 2007 campaign for Greensboro's District 1 City Council seat. Thank you for the numerous cards, e-mails, flowers and calls of encouragement.
However, it is I who have been blessed. I am so humbly grateful for the opportunity to encourage the homeless, to have sat in the counsel of the elderly and to have met some of the most gracious residents of District 1.
I hope this Thanksgiving season that District 1 can finally begin to heal and to move toward becoming truly one community, indivisible. District 1 belongs to all of us.
Without question, District 1 has not been able to share in the economic growth or build the business and community partnerships that other districts of Greensboro have experienced. Therefore, let us all take on the responsibility to ensure that these next two years bring prosperity, unity and growth for every member of District 1.
Thank you all. Special thanks to Mr. Beasley, a man with so much wisdom and compassion.
