Last week’s Recognition Dinner and Holiday Party was an excellent way to kick off the holiday season. I enjoyed spending time with you and your guests, in a beautiful venue with delicious food and drinks. I was also impressed by some of the dance moves I saw from unexpected people that night! For everyone’s benefit, my wife made sure to keep me off the dance floor. Special thanks to Brina, Zenaida, and Amber for all their efforts in planning such a delightful evening.

 

The holiday season is the perfect time of year to express my gratitude for all that you do for the City. 2022 was an incredible (and busy!) year for our organization and the community. Across every department, you should all be very proud of your collective contributions in making Lake Forest such a special place. As we look to close the chapter on 2022, I also hope your holiday season is filled enjoying time with family and loved ones. I encourage everyone to take time away from the job to enjoy the holidays. It’s important to focus on our health, wellbeing, and to find opportunities to step back and reflect on the past year.

 

I wish you all a relaxing and peaceful holiday season.

 

Take care,

 

Jason
