Good evening.

As we gather here in service to the people of Sanford, let us take a moment to reflect on the work before us. The strength of a community is not built in a single moment or by any one person—it is the result of dedication, cooperation, and the steady effort of many hands working toward a common goal.

James Cash Penney once said, “Growth is never mere chance; it is the result of forces working together.” The choices made in this room tonight, big and small, will shape the future of this city.

Growth does not happen by accident. It requires vision, resilience, and a willingness to listen—not just to those who agree with us, but to all who call this community home.

·       Tonight - may we approach our responsibilities with open hearts and thoughtful minds.

·       May we seek solutions that uplift and decisions that endure.

·       And may we leave here knowing that through patience, collaboration, and service, we are strengthening the very foundation of Sanford—not just for today, but for generations to come.

With gratitude for the opportunity to serve, let us move forward together.

Thank you.
