Dear Community Leaders and Members of Anne Arundel County,
I hope you are having a wonderful day so far. Our office looks forward to seeing those who live in Brooklyn Park, Linthicum Heights, Curtis Bay, Ferndale, BWI Airport, Harmans, Pumphrey, and parts of Hanover at the Region 1 Community Summit at the Chesapeake Arts Center this evening. These meetings allow you to ask questions and share your ideas with us so we can work together to make our communities The Best Place - For All.
We are also looking forward to The Best Place - For All Mural Artists' Signing & Celebration tomorrow, where we'll observe the beautiful and interactive artwork of local artists Cindy Fletcher-Holden and Comacell Brown Jr. as they sign their work to complete the mural. Details can be found below.
Lastly, I would like to highlight that we are currently looking to fill a vacancy on our Pension Oversight Commission. So if you've ever wanted to get involved with local government and are knowledgeable about pension administration and funding, now is your chance! You can find additional details below.
Otherwise, we have another newsletter packed with information we know you'll find helpful.
Sincerely,
James Kitchin
Office of the County Executive
Director, CECS
