John,

Happy Kwanzaa! This week is a time to honor heritage, strengthen community, and reflect on the values that guide us forward. It’s an opportunity to slow down, reconnect with one another, and celebrate the traditions that shape who we are and how we show up for each other.

May these days be filled with meaningful conversations, shared meals, gratitude for those who came before us, and hope for those who come next. Wishing you and your loved ones peace, purpose, and togetherness throughout this Kwanzaa season!

Happy Kwanzaa,

Mayor Cherelle Parker
