Dear Neighbors,

As Hanukkah concludes, Christmas approaches, and we look ahead to the New Year, I want to wish you and your family a safe and joyful holiday season. This time of year gives us a chance to slow down, reflect, and spend time with the people who matter most.

The holidays are also a reminder of the strength of our communities. From local volunteers and nonprofit organizations to first responders and healthcare workers, many people step up during this season to care for others. Their dedication does not go unnoticed, and our region is better because of it.

As we celebrate the holidays, let us also keep in mind neighbors who may be facing challenges or spending this time away from loved ones. A simple phone call, visit, or act of kindness can make a meaningful difference.

From my family to yours, I wish you a Happy Hanukkah, Merry Christmas, and a Happy New Year.
