7.25.2021 Mayor’s Message

Hello Everyone,

  • Remember “Crazy Daze” is Wednesday July 28!  Enjoy
  • Last Monday was the “Let’s Walk Valley City” event.  There were many booths providing education, fun and fellowship for approximately 600 people who attended. Thank you for a great job to all who organized the event and worked the booths.
  • A lady asked me if I would “please” mention that there are many cigarette butts lying around town.  A cigarette filter can take 18 months – 10 years to decompose.  So PLEASE dispose of your cigarette butts and packages properly.  Keep Valley City beautiful, thank you.
  • Valley City State University (VCSU) held a “kick-off “ for its Forward Together Capital Campaign.  VCSU is one of the “faces” of Valley City so please research the Forward Together Capital Campaign and consider helping.
  • TREES are important to protecting lawns, flowers, street surfaces, reduce storm water runoff, increase property values and are beautiful.  Trees are stressing and you can make a difference WATERING them.  Birch trees especially appear to be having a tough time.
  • Please research the Emerald Ash Borer as we have many Ash trees in Valley City: https://www.nd.gov/ndda/plant-industries/pest-survey-and-outreach/emerald-ash-borer-eab
  • The COVID-19 Variant is attacking non-vaccinated people creating illness and some deaths.  Get your vaccination, as your family and friends want you alive and healthy.
  • August 5th, be watching for “The Longest Table”.  For details see: http://www.vclongesttable.org/
  • Thank you to contributors again this week.
  • “No matter what accomplishments you achieve, somebody helps you.”                                                                                              (Wilma Rudolph)                                                      Blessings, Be Respectful, Be Kind and Pray,

Dave
