One of the things I love most about Cary is how our community shows up for one another. Whether it’s celebrating young innovators, honoring veterans and their families, or gathering across faiths during Ramadan, these moments reflect what makes our town such a special place to live.
That shared commitment to community also guides our work on Council. Last week, along with Councilmembers Huang and Bansal, I attended the Essentials of Municipal Government class at the UNC School of Government. It was a great way to deepen our understanding of the laws, ethics, and many responsibilities that come with serving in local leadership. I’m grateful for the opportunity to keep learning how to better serve Cary.
As the weather warms up, I hope you’ll take time to enjoy our many parks, events, and small businesses. Please also stay connected through the Town’s official news releases and social media channels.
Thank you for being part of Cary's vibrant spirit!
