I hope you and your families are ready for the fall season! Just wrapping up Veterans Day weekend, we had the privilege of paying our respects to our veterans who have fought to keep our country free.

November is a busy month, and we are thankful for so many things, like our new community center, where we will be able to better service our district.

As summer transitions into autumn, cooler temperatures, and the leaves begin to change, there's a sense of excitement in District 4.

I for one am welcoming the cooler temperatures, we were certainly blessed with the slightly cooler than 100 degrees temperatures during the Labor Day Festival.
