The Locomotive - One Big Thing
As the holiday season fills our city with warmth and cheer, I want to take a moment to express my heartfelt gratitude for being part of such an incredible community. This time of year reminds us of the importance of connection, kindness, and looking out for one another—all values that make Chamblee so special.
Whether celebrating long-standing traditions or creating new ones, I hope this season brings joy, love, and relaxation to you and your loved ones. Let’s also take a moment to reflect on the progress we've made together this year and look ahead with hope for all the opportunities the new year will bring.
Thank you for allowing me to serve as your council member. It is truly an honor to represent such a vibrant and caring community. If there’s anything I can do to assist you or your family during the holiday season or beyond, please don’t hesitate to let me know. .
Wishing you all a safe, peaceful, and happy holiday season! 🎁
