During a recent government meeting, discussions highlighted community engagement and fundraising efforts, alongside expressions of gratitude and concerns regarding local governance.

Cheryl Citizen, representing the local fire department, announced a fundraiser in memory of Deputy Chief James de Herrent, who passed away 20 years ago. The initiative involves selling t-shirts for $30, with all proceeds benefiting the Mid-Atlantic Burn Foundation. Citizen encouraged community members, including non-employees, to participate and spread the word, noting that orders can be placed at the firehouse from 6 to 7 PM until August 15.

In a lighter moment, Daniel Moore expressed his appreciation to a fellow council member, Mr. Fleming, for assisting him after he dropped his belongings in the hallway. Moore also shared his passion for photography and 3D artwork, mentioning his previous donations to the police department. However, he voiced frustration with certain council members, suggesting that they are not taking community matters seriously.

The meeting underscored the importance of community support and the ongoing efforts of local organizations to honor their members while addressing the need for accountability within local governance.
